Malawian Afternoon Tea Cuppa Char

1. 1

   Boil the water and pour about 2 cups into the teapot.

2. 2

   (A teapot with a good buildup of brown tannin on the inside makes the best tea).

3. 3

   Let the water heat up the teapot while you reboil the kettle.

4. 4

   Pour off the heating water from the teapot, add the tea leaves and then pour the freshly boiled water on the tealeaves.

5. 5

   This has to be done quickly and as soon as the water comes to the boil.

6. 6

   Once it has stopped boiling, it doesn't make as good tea.

7. 7

   Let the tea steep for at least five minutes.

8. 8

   Cover the teapot with a tea cosy if you have one.

9. 9

   Put a teaspoon of condensed milk in each cup (bone china cups are best) and pour the tea on top.

10. 10

    Stir (or don't if you want a sticky delight at the end of your tea) and enjoy.
