BOIL FRESH WATER to at least 200 degrees F. (Oxygenated water enhances flavor. That means shake the water up before you pour it.)
PRE-WARM THE TEAPOT. (My experience is that the teapot should be ceramic and not metal.) How so? It would seem to me that boiling water would heat the pot. So I take this to mean that some boiling water is poured into the pot just to warm it up, that is poured out, and then the freshly boiled water to make the tea is poured in.
PUT THE TEA IN and STEEP IT FOR 3-5 MINUTES or longer for stronger. Early Grey or English Breakfast might take closer to the 5 minutes.
REMOVE THE TEA and STIR - More oxygenation.
MILK: Add milk to the cup before pouring in the tea.
