Everyday Earl Grey (Milk or Lemon)

teas.co.uk · 5 min · Serves 1

You'll need

• 1 tea bag of Tetley Earl Grey
• 250ml freshly drawn water at 100C, just off the boil
• 1 thin strip of fresh lemon zest, peeled with a vegetable peeler
• 25ml cold whole milk
• 1 250ml mug, warmed
• 1 saucer for covering during steep

Method

1. Warm the mug, then pour in 250ml of freshly boiled water.
2. Drop in the tea bag and cover with a saucer to keep the bergamot in.
3. Steep for four minutes, long enough for the bergamot to come through without the black tea stewing.
4. Lift out the bag and drain it gently against the rim.
5. Finish your way: a splash of cold milk for a soft everyday cup, or a thin strip of fresh lemon zest for a brighter, fragrant one. Choose one rather than both.
6. Serve straight away in the warm mug.
