A Perfect Builders Brew

  1. Boil the kettle of water.
  2. Once boiled pour a little into the mug, swill around and empty it.
  3. Purpose of this step is to warm the mug.
  4. Put the teabag into the mug, re-boil the kettle!
  5. This is important to get the most flavour out of the teabag.
  6. Pour the boiling water into the mug.
  7. Leave the tea to brew for 30 to 45 seconds for perfect strength tea.
  8. Pour in a dash of milk, stirring untill you get a perfect colour, which should be a tan brown.
  9. This is a point of contention as some people believe in adding the milk first, however I believe this dilutes the effect you get from the boiling water hitting the teabag and releasing the flavour.
  10. Add sugar if desired, I prefer not to.
  11. For true authenticity, serve with biscuits, traditional Nice (as in the picture), or Rich Tea, which you can dunk in!
