## Summary

How to brew PG Tips Scottish Blend, the stronger Assam-led builder's tea made for soft water, with milk and optional sugar.

## Description

Scottish Blend is PG Tips' heavier, more Assam-forward breakfast blend, made for a reason worth knowing: Scotland's soft tap water brews the regular blend too thin, so this one is built to pull dark and strong where the Original would come out weak. It is a proper builder's tea, taken with milk and, by tradition north of the border, often a little sugar.

Canonical: https://teas.co.uk/recipes/black-tea/how-to-brew-pg-tips-scottish-blend/Brew it on a full rolling boil for three to four minutes, three for a brighter cup, four for full builder's strength. And unlike a delicate green or floral bag, you can give this one a squeeze against the mug on the way out, which only adds to the colour and strength.
