The Pukka Herbal Collection is a mixed pack of different blends, so the right brew depends on the bag: green and mint blends want water just off the boil, while berry, fruit and chamomile blends want a full rolling boil. The easy middle ground is to let the water sit 30 seconds off the boil, then steep covered.

It uses Pukka Organic Herbal Collection, a mixed caffeine-free pack. One mug.
You'll need
- 1 Pukka Organic Herbal Collection tea bag, any flavour
- 250ml water, boiled then left 30 seconds off the boil
- A little honey, optional, depending on the bag
Method
- Boil fresh water and let it sit 30 seconds; this works as a safe middle ground for the mixed pack so you do not need to look up each blend.
- Put the bag in the mug and pour the water over.
- Cover and steep 5 minutes for most flavours; berry and chamomile suit 6 minutes, green and mint blends are happiest at 4.
- Lift the bag out with a gentle press; do not squeeze hard especially green or mint bags.
- Taste before sweetening; some blends are naturally sweet already.
