Serves one. Use full boiling water and steep it longer than a standard tea, four to five minutes or more, then add milk to taste.
You'll need
- 1 tea bag of Tetley Extra Strong Breakfast Tea
- 200ml freshly boiled water (100C)
- A generous splash of milk
- Sugar to taste (optional)
Method
- Boil fresh water and pour it over the bag at a full 100C.
- Steep for 4 to 5 minutes, or longer, for a deep, extra strong brew. This tea is built to take a long steep without turning harsh.
- Press the bag firmly against the side of the mug and lift it out.
- Add a generous splash of milk, and sugar to taste. This strong tea carries milk well.
- Warm the milk a little before adding; a cold splash chills a strong builder brew and dulls the malt.
