Exact quantities, then the method.
Typhoo Original is a value black tea, and brewed properly it punches above its price: a brisk cup that comes up well without any fuss. The kind of tea that just gets the job done by the kettle.

Give it a full boil and four to five minutes, then milk and sugar as you like.
You'll need
- 1 tea bag of Typhoo Original Breakfast
- 200ml freshly boiled water (100C)
- A splash of milk
- Sugar to taste (optional)
Method
- Fresh water, boiled, at a full 100C goes over the bag.
- Steep for 4 to 5 minutes to bring it to strength.
- Lightly squeeze the bag against the mug before you lift it clear.
- Add milk, and sugar if you take it.
- For a stronger cup, give the bag a second short dunk rather than a long steep, which avoids a stewed taste.
