HOW TO DRINK TEA

For tea-boiling water, the water in the mountains is superior, the river water is middle, and the well water is inferior. For water in the mountains, it is best to choose a smooth flow where the rocks and stalactites are located; and the water that flows from waterfalls, rapids, rapids, and whirlpools, do not drink it. That water is used for a long time, and the neck will be disabled. There are many other streams that accumulate in the mountain, the water is clear but stagnant. From the fire season to before the dew season, there is a puddle of centipede snakes releasing poison inside, the drinker must clear the stream, let the poisonous water flow, make the new water slowly pour back, and then use it secretly. The river water chooses to take the far stream where people live. The well water is closed in the well and is often used by people to drink.

The water boils, foaming like a fish's eye, and it sounds a little loud, that is the first boiling; the wall of the pot of foam clings to the stream that flows rapidly, that is the second boiling time; And when the water is like waves lapping the clouds, it is the third time it has boiled. If the water is old for a long time, it can no longer be used. When it boils at first, the time looks at the amount of water and mixes salt to adjust the taste, discarding the water that has just tasted. It is necessary not to see that the water is tasteless and use too much salt, so don't you love the taste of salt alone? The second boil, scoop out a pot of water, stir the water with a "bamboo armor", measure the tea mite and put it in the middle and put it down. Later, the water is like a wave foaming, then it is poured into the water that was scooped out before to suppress the boiling and nourish the "essence" of tea.

Scoop the tea into a bowl, and the powder must be even. Mite and powder are the "quintessence" of tea water; thin things are called mites, thick things are called flour; the small thing that was called "flower" at the time. The flowers are like apples floating on the pond and lake, like a budding hyacinth fluttering in the middle of a river swamp, and then like a rhyme and scales wandering in the cool sky. Mites are like green moss floating on the surface of the water; like a chrysanthemum in the middle of Quynh's cup. The flour, boil the pulp until it boils, float in layers, white as snow. "Asthma" writes: "Bright as a snowflake, radiant as a spring flower." Sure enough!

When the water boils once, the mites are removed, and there is water on it like a black pattern, and it will not taste pure. The first tea is called Tuyen Vinh. Take the rice and store that water, in case the water boils, you can take the tea, and nourish the essence of tea. The first, second, and third bowls are scooped out afterwards, and like the fourth and fifth bowls later, if you are not very thirsty, do not drink anything. If you boil a spoon of water, you will divide it into five bowls. (Original note: The number of bowls is three, at most is five, if there are more than ten people, two more ovens must be cooked.) You have to drink it immediately when it's hot, so that the heavy thing is cloudy, and the essence rises to the top. If it is allowed to cool, then the elite will follow the hot air and run out at the same time, and the tea will not run out, and that's all.
