I was utterly amazed when Martha Stewart showed how to make a proper pot of tea on her show one day. I watched in disbelief as she said "I like to warm the teapot, first" -- because seriously, I thought everyone did that (in any case, warming a teapot is not a Martha invention!!!). More to the point, I figured anyone who drinks tea knows how to make a pot of it... but obviously not.
But that probably comes from being not-too-far-removed from the Old Country -- Scots drink as much tea as the English, that's for sure!
