teas.co.uk · 5 min · Serves 1

You'll need

• 1 tea bag of Dilmah Premium Ceylon Black
• 250ml freshly drawn water at 100C, just off the boil
• 25ml cold whole milk

Method

1. Pour 250ml of freshly boiled water into a mug you have warmed.
2. Put the tea bag in, set a saucer on top and steep for a full four minutes.
3. Lift the bag out, draining it gently against the rim.
4. Add a splash of cold milk after the brew, so you can see the strength as you pour.
5. Four minutes gives a proper, brisk cup; rushing it leaves it weak and watery.
