• Measure: One bag per 200ml of water for a standard cup; use 2 bags in 300ml if you want builder strength.
• Steep: 3 to 5 minutes; longer for a stronger, milkier cup, shorter for a lighter pour.
• Service: Add a splash of full fat milk and stir; sugar to taste. The tannins are balanced by the milk casein, which is why British tea is almost always drunk with milk.
