My own ritual for making tea is really very basic and fairly quick really. Saying that, I suppose the longest part of this ritual is down to me trying to decide which tea to use, as I always find it hard to choose between Yorkshire tea, Earl Grey or Lady Jane. I have one box of each all on the go at the same time and so every teatime is a big decision but it also means that my tea drinking days are quite random. Once I have finally made up my mind as to which brew I will have, I fill up the electric energy saving kettle to the recommended amount of cups; so if I am making two cups I fill the water to the two cup mark instead of filling up the whole kettle which means the water does not take so long to boil :) I know many witches use a tea pot as part of their tea making process but I just put the tea bag straight into my favourite Harry Potter mug along with some sugar. Once the water is boiled , I pour it over the tea bag and leave it to brew for just a few minutes. As soon as I discard the tea bag a small amount of milk goes into the cup-just enough so the tea looks a lovely tanned colour. As we are not allowed to use magic outside of school, I stir the tea muggle style, giving the tea 3 stirs in a circular motion and in a clockwise direction and then 3 stirs in a circular motion in a anticlockwise direction. I don't know why I do it like that, all I know is that it feels right. I always enjoy hot, sweet tea but enjoy it all the more when I have a treat with it such as scones covered in lashings of butter, jam and clotted cream.
