How To Brew The True English Tea British Mix Collection

The British Mix Collection is a variety box of British classics, so the right brew depends on which bag you pull out. The black blends, English Breakfast and Earl Grey, want freshly boiled water; any green tea bag is better with water just off the boil. Black takes milk, Earl Grey and green take a slice of lemon.

⏱ 5 min 🍽 Makes 1 cup 📊 Easy 📚 Black Tea Recipes

You'll need

1 tea bag from the True English Tea British Mix Collection
250ml freshly boiled water (let it stand a minute for any green tea bag)
Milk or a slice of lemon, to taste

Method

Pop the bag into your cup or mug.
For a black blend, pour over freshly boiled water; for a green tea bag, let the kettle stand a minute first.
Brew a black blend for 3 to 4 minutes, a green tea bag for just 2 to 3.
Lift out the bag, then add milk to a black tea, or a slice of lemon to the Earl Grey or green.
In short: black wants milk, Earl Grey and green want lemon, and green wants cooler water.

What you'll end up with: Every classic in the box brewed at its best, the black blends full and rounded, the greens fresh and clean.
