You take a cup and put a teabag in it, or you put some loose leaf tea into a teapot, then you boil some water and pour it into the teapot or cup and you dunk the teabag or leave it to brew. You wait for about three minutes, or longer if you like it strong, then you take out the teabag or pour the tea into a cup. Then, you can add some sugar and/or milk and mix it. Now, you drink it.
