Add your tea leaves, bring to a boil
Aerate a few times with a ladle and keep it at an aggressive simmer for at least 5 minutes. Your mixture should have reduced by at least a third from where you started.

Notes
I've given quantities for one serving to make it easier to scale. I have also shared the measurements in mugs because it's more convenient. The ½ tbsp of tea leaves is equivalent to a spoonful out of the small spoons in your kitchen drawer.TIP: if making two cups, I like it more with three teabags not two since teabags tend to have a milder flavour.
