Steps To Make The Perfect Cup Of Tea

in #howto7 years ago (edited)

So here it is the definitive guide to making the perfect cup of tea. I've seen a lot of weak attempts in my time and it's time to set the record straight!

Step 1: Which Tea?
This isn't even a question but if it were, the answer is and always will be Barry's Gold Blend Tea. None of that Lyons or PG tips shite.

Step 2: Get Your Favourite Cup.
Pretty simple, get a decent mug and move on to step 3.

Step 3: Boil The Kettle.
Make sure the water is pipping hot and not a second before.

Step 4: Stick The Teabag In The Cup.
Again, self explanatory, if you fuck this bit up I'll be impressed.

Step 5: Fill The Cup With Boiling Water.
Fill up the cup to about 70% of the cup, remember that you'll e removing the tea bag so you'll have more space but you'll also be adding milk. Don't overfill is what I'm trying to say.

Step 6: Wait.
Wait for the tea to go dark, a good trick to know if it is strong enough is to put a spoon in the cup. Under normal light conditions, if you can't see the bottom of the spoon your tea is ready.

Step 7: REMOVE THE TEABAG
Can't over stress this. Don't be lazy, remove the tea bag.

Step 8: Add Milk.
Less is more here lads, a drop of milk is more than enough. Don't be the guy with the milky cup of tea.

Step 9: This Colour.
This is the ideal colour of tea! should not be any lighter than this. If it is you've ruined a perfectly good cup and should feel bad and start again.

Step 10: Snacks
Enjoy with some crisp sandwiches or a biscuit.

I appreciate a good cup of tea. Nice photos, too. It's really important to have boiled water. None of this microwave water.

The tea caught my eye. Unmistakable where it's from

Best in the world!
