Step 1 - Fill a real teapot, a toy teapot, something that looks like a teapot, or an imaginary teapot up with imaginary water.
Step 2 - Pretend to boil the imaginary water. If you don't have a toy stove you can use a real stove or a pretend stove, but either way it's very important to only use imaginary heat!
Step 3 - Find a box of imaginary tea leaves. For best results, imaginary tea should be very fresh and super high quality. So you should pretend to buy the very best!
Looks like I'm running a little low on my imaginary tea....
...Oh wait... I actually have a whole other unopened box!
Step 4 - I generally use about one teaspoon of imaginary tea leaves per imaginary cup of pretend water. But that is just a basic "rule-of thumb" and because imaginary tea is so forgiving I have found that it often tastes the same no matter how much imaginary leaf I put in the teapot.
Step 5 - Carefully pour the imaginary tea into real or pretend cups. If you're using a real teapot you may want to hang on to the lid so it doesn't fall off.
watch how the master does it
Step 6 - Sip your imaginary tea slowly and mindfully while saying silly things like: "mmm this is delicious tea" and "may I have some more tea please."
