Boiling water, ready to warm the tea pot in preparation for a cup tea. In our house we always use a tea pot and use leaf tea. No tea bag dunks here – standards must be maintained! And it must be milk first. But no bone china cups - just full sized mugs. For me this means a pint for the first mug of tea of the day! So the only question is; boiling, or just off of the boil?
