## Description

The PG Tips Original cup is the British everyday standard, and most people get it slightly wrong with under-boiled water and too short a steep. Done properly it's brisk, malty and ready for milk. Fully boiled water, 3 to 4 minutes in the mug, then milk last: that really is the whole job.
