How to brew the messenger.
One heaped teaspoon per cup. Water at a full boil straight from the kettle; black tea likes the heat. Steep three to four minutes.
A teaspoon per cup and one extra for the pot. Lid on, let it sit, pour the lot before it stews.
The unhurried way. Let the leaves settle as it cools and sip once the steam softens.
Afterwards, the leaves go to the garden, not the bin.
Take the messenger home.
