2. Peel the potatoes, take the eyes out and chop them into bitesize pieces.
3. Bring water to boil in a saucepan, add a pinch of salt and boil the potatoes until they are soft.
4. When the potatoes are well cooked, drain them. Pierce the potatoes with a bamboo skewer to check to see if they are cooked.

*Tea leaves contain caffeine. The diuretic, stimulant and anticancer effects of caffeine intake are clinically recognized. On the other hand, excessive intake of caffeine may have a damaging effect on health. Especially, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and children should be careful with the amount of caffeine they intake.
