How do I brew myself a proper cup of black tea, green tea and/or flavoured tea?
For a good cup of tea use fresh boiling water instead of water that has been continuously on the boil. Use one teabag or one teaspoon of tea per cup; in the instance a tea pot is being used, use one extra teaspoon for the pot. For black and green tea brew the tea for 3 to 4 minutes. Once the tea has been infused to the required colour and taste strain the tea to separate the brewed tea leaves from the infusion. If a tea bag is being used remove the tea bag from the cup. For flavoured black or green tea brew the leaf for 3 minutes. Serve black tea with milk or without milk with a slice of lemon or lime with sugar or sweetener to taste. Flavoured black tea should be consumed without milk, add sugar or sweetener to taste. We suggest that all green teas both flavoured and non-flavoured should be consumed plain without milk or sugar.
