A Proper Cup of Spanish Lemon Tea

teas.co.uk · 5 min · Serves 1

You'll need

• 1 tea bag of Lipton Black Tea with Spanish Lemons
• 250ml freshly drawn water at 100C, just off the boil
• 1 thin slice of fresh lemon
• 1 250ml mug, warmed
• 1 saucer for covering during steep

Method

1. Warm your mug and bring the water to a rolling boil.
2. Add one tea bag and pour over 250ml of the boiling water.
3. Cover and steep for four minutes to draw out the full citrus.
4. Lift the bag out, letting it drain against the rim.
5. Drop in a thin slice of fresh lemon if you want a sharper edge.
6. Tip: leave the milk out; it curdles against the citrus and mutes the lemon.
