When you make tea with tea leaves, like in "the old days", you turn the tea cup upside down after having finished drinking it. Wait until the water has disappeared, then take a look at the shape of the tea leaves. The first thing you see in the tea cup is a prediction of what will happen to you. If you see a man, you will have a visitor. See a heart - future happiness. See two hearts - marriage, dots indicate money, you will either gain, or be careful not to spend, and so on. In Norway it has been more common to see your future in "kaffegrut".     
 If two women pour tea from the same tea cup, one of them will become pregnant within a year. When preparing a nice cup of tea, you shall never put milk in the tea before sugar. Why? Because to put the boiling water into a teapot before tea will bring bad fortune.
