The Hot Cup of Tetley Lemon Drizzle Cake

teas.co.uk · 5 min · Serves 1

You'll need

• 1 tea bag of Tetley Lemon Drizzle Cake
• 200ml freshly boiled water (100C)
• Optional: a splash of milk, or a little honey

Method

1. Boil fresh water and pour it over the bag at a full 100C. It is a black tea, so it wants the heat.
2. Steep for 3 to 4 minutes to bring out the buttery sponge and lemon icing notes.
3. Lift out the bag. Try it black first to taste the lemon drizzle character.
4. Add a splash of milk for a creamier cake and custard cup, or a little honey to push the sweetness.
5. Pull the bag at the short end, around 3 minutes; over brewing buries the delicate lemon icing notes under tannin.
