## Summary

How to make black tea with lemon the Russian way: brewed strong, no milk, brightened with a fresh slice of lemon.

## Description

Across Russia and much of Eastern Europe, tea is drunk black with a slice of lemon rather than milk, and it is a habit worth picking up. The lemon brightens the tea and cuts through its tannins, leaving something clean and refreshing rather than heavy. This blend already carries a citrus note, so a fresh wheel on top doubles down on it. Brew it at a full boil for four minutes, then add the lemon at the end, and never with milk.
