Brewing Thompson's Irish Breakfast (Belfast Style)

teas.co.uk · 5 min · Makes 1 mug

You'll need

• 1 tea bag of Thompson's Irish Breakfast
• 250ml freshly boiled water (100C)
• Milk, to taste
• Sugar, to taste (optional)

Method

1. Pop the bag into your mug and pour over freshly boiled water.
2. Brew for 3 to 5 minutes, pressing the bag once or twice for a stronger cup.
3. Lift out the bag, then add milk until the colour is a deep, reddish brown.
4. Add sugar if you like, stir, and enjoy.
5. Press the bag firmly against the side of the mug before lifting it; Irish breakfast is built to take it, and the cup comes out darker.
