For
something a little different, at your next
In order to read the tea leaves, you will need to use smooth shallow tea cups that have white interiors. The loose tea leaves need to be of a good quality, large leafed, and brewed directly in each tea cup. To make the tea, place about a teaspoon of tea in each cup and then fill with boiling water. As the tea steeps the leaves will settle to the bottom of the cup. As you drink the tea, make a wish or think of a question. After drinking the tea, leave about a teaspoon of the tea on the bottom of the cup, and with your left hand, swirl the tea three times to spread the leaves around the sides of the cup. Gently turn the cup upside down onto the saucer to drain out the leftover tea. Turn the cup right side up again and look for a picture pattern. The first picture you see is the answer to your wish or question you thought of while drinking the tea. They say the placement of the pictures in the cup is very significant. Leaves on the bottom of the cup foretell the distant future. On the sides foretell of events in the not too distant future, and leaves on the rim area tell the present. The pictures or symbols that you see very clearly have more weight than those that are unclear.
