Most important, as I think, is what is tea & how to prepare it. Is it proper to boil tea leaves with sugar in water for a minute or two? I think this is not tea; rather it is an extract of tea leaves containing lot of nicotine, the most harmful part of tea superseding all the benefits of tea. Prepare tea in the same manner as coffee. Boil the water only, take it off the stove put some tea leaves and filter into a cup containing sugar. This is actually tea with all the health benefits intact. If you want avoid filtering, as in coffee, you may have tea bag and dip it in the cup containing boiled water & sugar.
