Cup of tea (gold)

A Cup of tea is a drink made in a player-owned house by using a pot of tea on an empty gold-trimmed porcelain cup. This requires 20 Cooking and gives 52 experience. The tea gives a 3 level Construction boost when drank. Teak shelves 2 are the only shelves that contain gold-trimmed cups.

Players can also ask their servant to serve tea, and if the best shelves in your kitchen are one of those, the servant will serve this type of tea.

A bucket of milk can be added to the tea to make a cup of tea (gold, milky). This has no effect besides changing the colour of the tea and the message when drunk.

Tea from player-owned houses can not be put into a tea flask. If a player leaves the house in any way, then this item will disappear from their inventory.

 * 1) Remove a kettle, a teapot and one or more cups from the shelf.
 * 2) Remove one unit of tea leaves from the larder.
 * 3) Use the kettle on the sink to fill it with water.
 * 4) Use the full kettle of water on the range to bring it to a boil.
 * 5) Use the tea leaves on the teapot to turn it into a teapot with leaves.
