How To Make Tea
1. First, boil some water.
2. Pour that (boiling) water into a teapot or, if you prefer, directly into a cup.
3. I should have mentioned that you can boil water on the stove or in the microwave. Or, I guess, over a fire you make by placing scraps of wood in a metal trash can (warning: do not use a plastic trash can).
4. Place the bag in the water.
5. I meant "tea bag," obviously. Not just any old bag. The bag should have tea in it. Probably goes without saying, but best to be clear.
6. Wait. While you're waiting, you can read a magazine, stare out the window, or talk to a loved one/acquaintance. Perhaps you could listen to some music, make a telephone call, or pay your bills. This list is by no means exhaustive.
7. Now your tea is ready. Pour the tea into a cup or, if it's already in a cup, pour it into a different cup.
8. Add sugar and milk unless you're all "just give it to me straight, man!" in which case what, exactly, are you trying to prove?
9. Enjoy.
10. Repeat.
