Tea and Toast — 7 of 31

Section - The Teapot

Instead of inserting anything into the teapot when the noun is not the tea strainer: say "To make tea, put the tea strainer full of tea leaves in the pot and fill it with hot water from the kettle."

Instead of inserting the tea strainer into the teapot when the tea strainer does not contain the tea leaves: say "The tea strainer is empty!"

Instead of filling the teapot with something when the second noun is not the hot water: say "Making tea requires hot water!"

Instead of filling the teapot with hot water when the tea strainer is not in the teapot: say "You should put the strainer full of tea leaves into the teapot first."

Every turn when the tea strainer is in the teapot and the teapot is filled with hot water and the dry tea leaves are in the tea strainer:

say "The tea begins to steep in the teapot.";

now the tea leaves are steeping;

the tea steeps in two turns from now.

At the time when the tea steeps:

empty the hot water from the teapot;

fill the teapot with hot tea.

The hot tea has a number called steep count.

Every turn when the teapot is filled with hot tea and the strainer is in the teapot:

increase the steep count of the hot tea by 1;

if the steep count of the hot tea is at least 3:

say "The tea has steeped long enough! Better take out the strainer.";

now the tea leaves are used.

Understand "take out [something]" or "take [something] out" as taking.
