A Perfect Builders Brew

1. 1

   Boil the kettle of water.

2. 2

   Once boiled pour a little into the mug, swill around and empty it.

3. 3

   Purpose of this step is to warm the mug.

4. 4

   Put the teabag into the mug, re-boil the kettle!

5. 5

   This is important to get the most flavour out of the teabag.

6. 6

   Pour the boiling water into the mug.

7. 7

   Leave the tea to brew for 30 to 45 seconds for perfect strength tea.

8. 8

   Pour in a dash of milk, stirring untill you get a perfect colour, which should be a tan brown.

9. 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. 10

    Add sugar if desired, I prefer not to.

11. 11

    For true authenticity, serve with biscuits, traditional Nice (as in the picture), or Rich Tea, which you can dunk in!
