OK:

1. Put the kettle on.
2. Smell the brown powder. Surely you must know what tea and coffee smell like ... ?
3. Get your tea pot out.
4. When the kettle boils, slosh a little water into the pot and wash it around.
5. Empty the teapot and re-boil the kettle.
6. Put three very heaped teaspoons of tealeaves into the teapot.
7. Half-fill the teapot with boiling water. This is very important. The water must be poured immediately after the kettle switches off.
8. Wait about 5 minutes.
9. Put some milk in the mug. If you're using an average size mug I'd guess you need about 2cm of milk in the bottom of it.
10. Put the tea strainer over the mug and pour the tea through it.
11. Ask the plumber how many sugars he wants!
12. Add sugar, stir well and serve.
13. Pour yourself one, you don't know what you're missing!

HTH

3 heaped teaspoons of tea but no mention of the pot size?? The type of tea can also make a difference.

Also you should NEVER put hot liquid onto a small amount of milk as this can cause it to curdle. Better to put the tea into the mug and put the milk in after. Added benefit is you can add milk until you get the right colour.
