Exact quantities, then the method.
Bedtime Brew is an unusual one: a decaffeinated Black Tea blended with lemon balm, lemongrass, nutmeg and vanilla. That keeps it tasting like a proper cup of tea, with a soft spiced edge, rather than the thin herbal infusion you might expect.

The black base still wants boiling water and a decent steep to bring the nutmeg and vanilla forward. Drink it as it is, or add a little milk for a softer, creamier cup.
You'll need
- 1 tea bag of Yorkshire Tea Bedtime Brew
- 200ml freshly boiled water (100C)
- Optional: a splash of milk, or a little honey
Method
- Pour freshly boiled water at a full 100C over the bag. The base can take the heat.
- Steep for 4 to 5 minutes to draw out the herbs, nutmeg and vanilla.
- Lift out the bag.
- Drink it as it is, or add a splash of milk for a softer cup. With no caffeine, it suits the end of the day.
- Give it the full five minutes, as the herbal notes come through slowly.
