a low heat)

Method
Warm the pot with a little boiling
water, and then pour it away. Place the loose tea in the pot and add ¼ litre (about I
cup) of boiling water. Allow it to stand for 3 minutes. Place the crushed mint and the
sugar in the pot. Add the rest of the boiling water. Cover the pot and allow it to stand
