| The Legend of Tea According to Chinese legend, Emperor Shen Nung was sitting under a wild tea tree one day in the year 2737 BC. For health reasons, he drank only boiled, purified water. As he was preparing his drink, a few tea tree leaves fell into the water as it simmered. The resulting beverage pleased the emperor and "tea" was discovered. Making tea can be that simple! To Make a Pot of Tea Use one teaspoon of dried or two tablespoons of fresh herb to one cup of water. Place herb(s) in a container, such as a pan or teapot. Pour boiling water over herb(s). Quickly cover with a tight-fitting lid. Steep for 10 to 20 minutes. Strain and serve. Index to Teas Apple Tea
