A Proper Cup of Caramel Black Tea
A comforting afternoon cup of Ceylon caramel black tea, brewed four minutes and softened with a splash of cold milk. No sugar needed.

Dilmah's caramel tea is a Ceylon Black Tea with a natural caramel note, so it brews like any good black tea: full boiling water and four minutes. The caramel gives it a rounded sweetness, so it needs no sugar, and a small splash of cold milk softens it into a comforting afternoon cup.
