## Summary

How to make a proper everyday cup of tea: full boiling water, a four-minute steep, then milk to taste.

## Description

Everybody thinks they can make a cup of tea, and most people make a perfectly decent one, but a few small things lift the everyday brew. Use water at a rolling boil, because unlike green tea a robust black like this wants full heat to draw out its malty strength. Give it a proper four minutes rather than a quick dunk. Then the milk: add it after the brew and you can judge the colour, which is how most tea drinkers swear by it.
