How many tea bags should you put in a pot of boiling water?

I have 6 cups of boiling water in a pot, how many tea bags should I put in if I don’t want my tea too strong?

   If the are small tea bags, then put four… But i have to tell you, any true tea drinker/enthusiast will tell you, your not supposed to let the water boil…

   Step 1: Gather tea bags – try six at first, adjust up or down depending on how the tea turns out.
   Step 2: Turn off heat. If electric stove, remove from burner as well.
   Step 3: Add tea bags to pot. Cover.
   Step 4: Wait three minutes, then remove tea bags. Tea is ready to drink as soon as it has cooled enough.

   use 6 tea bags. If it’s too strong, just add water. Be sure not to steep the tea too long.

   If you don’t want it too strong, then 5 or 6 bags should be fine. Good luck.
