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
• 1 250ml mug, warmed
• 1 saucer for covering during steep

Method

1. Warm a mug and pour in 250ml of freshly boiled water.
2. Add the tea bag, cover with a saucer 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.
