I'm now 53 yrs old. When I was about 17 I actualy made my mother a cup of tea an took it up to her before she got up one morning. Not something I was in the habbit of doing, it was just I had some time on my hands so it seemed a good idea at the time. I made it the best cup of tea I ever made just to help pass the time, and it was for my dear old mam after all. After I came back down stairs she shouted down to me "where did you get that tea from?" I answered, "why, what's up?" She answered "It's the best cup of tea I've ever had!" Coming from a life-long tea lover I felt quite proud and happy at her response. I just left it at that and let her enjoy it. She didn't ask me again later in the day, and I never told her, but there is your answer, That's how you make the best cup of tea. Hmmmm
