How do I make a good cup of tea?

Everything I make just tastes like water with a nice smell. So how do I make a good cup of tea?

What I do is pretty basic. Put a teabag -or three- in a mug, boil some water, and pour the water in to the cup. Wait about five minutes, then take the teabag ut and drink it. Yet I never taste anything while tea I drink at my friends’ houses and other places has some taste to it.

I know loose leaf tea is supposed to be better, but I don’t feel like making it by the pot, and it’s expensive, so leave that out.

Should I steep the tea hot first, then refrigerate it once it cools down a bit?

Is it possible to make tea out of tobacco?

I don’t smoke, so forgive my ignorance…

I got thinking that since tobacco is a kind of leaf, and you can buy the stuff to roll your own cigarettes, surely you could put it into a cup of hot water to make a tea?

So, why don’t people do this? Does the tea taste awful, or does the nicotine just not absorb into the water?
Surely, made into a tea, it can’t be more horrible to taste than smoking it or chewing it?

I luv Arizona Iced Tea. How can I make homemade iced tea and make it taste similar to Arizona.

It doesn’t have to be to similar though.

I’m doing homework lol. I haven’t gone to sleep yet and I just finished the last of the coffee. But I have tea! I was wondering though, how much more/less caffeine is there in tea compared to coffee?

I have Bigelow (h/e it’s spelled) green tea and a few others i think.
