Exact quantities, then the method.
This is Yorkshire Tea with the caffeine taken out by Taylors of Harrogate, and crucially without the body stripped out with it. Brewed properly it still drinks like a real Yorkshire cup, only one you can have last thing at night.

The catch with any decaf is that it turns thin if you rush it. Give it boiling water and a steady four to five minutes, then finish with milk.
You'll need
- 1 tea bag of Yorkshire Tea Decaf
- 200ml freshly boiled water (100C)
- A splash of milk
- Sugar to taste (optional)
Method
- Boil fresh water, then pour it over the bag while it is still at a full 100C. Decaf still needs proper heat to give its best.
- Steeping for 4 to 5 minutes is what draws the flavour out.
- Take the bag out after pressing it lightly on the rim of the mug.
- Add a little milk, and sugar if you like. With no caffeine, this is the cup for the end of the day.
- Decaf can taste flat if you hurry it, so always give it the full five minutes.
