    Tea isn't tea unless it's black ;)

    Tetley Teabags (Tetley British Blend over here). NOT One Cup teabags, they're shite.

    Ingredients:
    16oz Starbucks coffee mug
    1 Tetley teabag (round)
    2 teaspoons sugar OR
    2 Hermesetas saccharin sweetener tablets
    Milk (for amount see below)

    1. Milk goes in first. Not last, FIRST. Tilt the mug at 45° and the milk should come to just below the top part of the base of the mug.
    2. Add the teabag to the milk.
    3. Pour in boiling or just boiled water.
    4. Let steep for 60-90 seconds.
    5. Fish out teabag with teaspoon, dunk at least eight times, squeeze then discard.
    6. Add sugar or sweeteners.
    7. Stir anti-clockwise (counter-clockwise for the Americans) at least eight times.

    Been doing it this way for 34 years and I've never had as good a cup of tea as I do at home.

    • It was all downhill after the first sentence. Tetley the Pabst Blue Ribbon of teas. Don't add milk or sweeteners.CyBrainX
