How to Brew a Proper Everyday Cuppa

teas.co.uk · 5 min · Serves 1

You'll need

• 1 tea bag of Lipton Yellow Label
• 250ml freshly drawn water at 100C, just off the boil
• 25ml cold whole milk
• 1 250ml mug, warmed
• 1 saucer for covering during steep

Method

1. Warm your mug with a splash of just boiled water and tip it out.
2. Pour in 250ml of water at a rolling boil.
3. Add the tea bag, cover with a saucer, and leave it a full four minutes; this is where the strength comes from.
4. Lift the bag out, pressing it gently against the side rather than squeezing it hard.
5. Add a splash of cold milk and stir, then top up to the colour you like.
6. Tip: if you take sugar, stir it in while the tea is still hot so it dissolves cleanly.
