You'll need

Method

  1. Pop the tea bag in your favourite mug.
  2. Pour over the freshly boiled water and leave to steep for 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. Lift out the bag without over steeping, so the vanilla stays smooth.
  4. Add a splash of milk to bring out the creamy vanilla note, and a little sugar or honey only if you like.
  5. Stir and enjoy a comforting, vanilla scented cup.
  6. Use whole milk, not semi skimmed; the fat amplifies the vanilla and makes the cup creamy rather than just smooth.
What you'll end up with: A comforting black tea with a sweet vanilla note, turned creamy by a splash of milk.
