making tea

Tweet

My 10 year old son is learnnig to make us a cuppa tea. Now we use tea leaves in our house. He has only made a few cups of tea for us and this is how he made it this afternoon. He bolied the kettle, put the milk in the cups, and here is where he went wrong, he poured water into the teapot and then put the tea leaves in our cups and then poured the hot water from the teapot into our cups. He isn't allowed to carry the tray through so I went to collect the tray. I saw tea leaves floating on the cups and asked if he forgot to strain the tea. He told me what he had done, I told him he had got muddled up but wasn't cross with him, he said does that mean the tea is wasted, I repied no and then strained the tea into other cups, tasted just fine. But he is still learnnig which is just fine and doesn't make it very often
