- 1). Fill the mug with water and put it in the tea kettle.
- 2). Turn the stove on high and heat the water to a rolling boil.
- 3). Measure slightly more loose-leaf tea into the infuser than you would at sea level. If using tea bags, consider using an extra bag to give the tea extra flavor.
- 4). Place the tea into the mug.
- 5). Pour the boiling water over the tea. Be sure it is a rolling boil, and do not allow the water to cool before pouring it over the tee to achieve the highest temperature possible for your altitude.
- 6). Allow the tea to steep for three to five minutes. You may want to let it steep a little longer than normal to compensate for cooler water.
- 7). Add honey, lemon or milk to taste.
