Exact quantities, then the method.
The 400-bag pack is built for tea rounds, not single mugs, so this is how to get a consistent pot for a whole table, office or hall. The knack is keeping the ratio right as you scale up, so every cup pours the same strength.

Reckon on one bag and 200ml of boiling water per mug. A good four to five minute brew, then milk and sugar on the side for everyone to help themselves.
You'll need
- 4 tea bags of Typhoo Original Breakfast
- 800ml freshly boiled water (100C)
- Milk and sugar on the side
Method
- Warm a large teapot, add four bags, and pour over 800ml of freshly boiled water at a full 100C.
- Brew for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring once, so it pours strong to the last cup.
- Pour through a strainer if you like. It makes about four good mugs or six small cups.
- Put milk and sugar on the side so everyone takes it their own way.
- For a bigger round, add another bag and 200ml of water for each extra mug.
