The correct way to make a cup of tea
This is my favourite way to make a cup of tea.
- Boil the kettle.
- Pour the boiling water into your cup of choice. This water is just to heat the cup up.
- Empty any remaining water out of the kettle and fill it up with fresh cold water.
- Boil the kettle again. Empty the cup of the warming water just before the kettle boils, and place your tea bag in the cup.
- Once the water has boiled, put the water into from as high a height as you can safely. This is to agitate the tea bag.
- Leave the tea bag to brew for at least 2 and a half minutes. My ideal wait time is 3 and a half minutes.
- Pour milk to your liking. My favourite is a deep red/brown colour.
- Enjoy your tea.
