The Perfect Pot And Cup Of English Tea!

• 3 3 teaspoons earl grey tea or 3 teaspoons ceylon tea
• water
• milk
• granulated sugar
• white sugar cube
• lemon slice

1. Only use freshly drawn cold water, ensure that kettles or water boilers are de-scaled regularly and that teapots are spotlessly clean.
2. Teapots should be warmed with hot water, which is then poured away.
3. Use the recommended number of tea bags or one teaspoon of loose tea per cup, AND one teaspoon for the pot. (For one person use a 10oz tea pot, for two persons a 20oz tea pot is recommended.).
4. Water should always be freshly boiled and boiling when added to tea.
5. Leave to brew for 3-5 minutes before serving. Stir before serving.
6. Pour a little milk into each cup before pouring the tea through a strainer if necessary, and sweeten with sugar as required.
7. You can omit the milk and serve the tea with lemon slices if you wish.
