The perfect cup of Yorkshire Tea

Ingredients

• Tea bag Yorkshire Tea or another black tea1
• Waterfreshly drawn, boiled once
• Milk (optional)a splash, semi-skimmed or whole
• Sugar (optional)to taste

Method

1. Run the tap a little so the water is nicely aerated, and only boil it once to keep the oxygen level up.
2. Pop a tea bag into your mug, pour over the hot water and stir briefly.
3. Wait 4–5 minutes so the tea can release all its flavour.
4. Before removing the bag, gently squeeze it against the side of the mug, just once. Mashing it makes the tea bitter.
5. Add a splash of milk, sugar, honey, lemon or nothing at all, as you like.
