The Brisk Refreshing Cup of Tetley Seriously Refreshing
The brisk everyday black done right: boiling water, a 3 to 4 minute steep, clean and refreshing with milk or lemon.

The Brisk Refreshing Cup plays to exactly what Tetley Seriously Refreshing is for: a lively, clean, brisk Black Tea that wakes you up rather than a heavy, malty sit down brew. Brewed properly it gives a bright cup that is just as good black with a slice of lemon as it is with a splash of milk.

Serves one. Use full boiling water and a standard steep, then take it however you like, the brisk character carries both milk and lemon.
You'll need
- 1 tea bag of Tetley Seriously Refreshing
- 200ml freshly boiled water (100C)
- Milk to taste (optional)
- A slice of lemon or sugar to taste (optional)
Method
- Boil fresh water and pour it over the bag at a full 100C.
- Steep for 3 to 4 minutes for a brisk, refreshing cup.
- Press the bag against the side of the mug and lift it out.
- Take it as you like, with a splash of milk or a slice of lemon. Its clean, brisk character suits both.
- Choose milk or lemon, not both; the acid in lemon curdles milk into specks.
