Brewing Yorkshire Tea Hard Water (for Limescale Areas)

teas.co.uk · 6 min · Serves 1

You'll need

• 1 tea bag of Yorkshire Tea Hard Water
• 200ml freshly boiled water (100C)
• A splash of milk
• Sugar to taste (optional)

Method

1. Use fresh water brought to a full 100C and pour it on the bag.
2. Steep for 4 to 5 minutes. This blend holds its strength where the water is hard, while ordinary tea often goes flat and skins over.
3. Press the bag against the mug wall, then take it out.
4. Add a splash of milk; the brew should look bright, not greyish on top.
5. Descale your kettle now and then, as loose limescale flecks can take the edge off even this blend.
