Want to know how to make the perfect cup of tea? From tea cosies and porcelain cups, to water temperature and brewing times, our good friend Becky Sheeran shows you how.
I think I have over 300 teas now, so you can imagine how much time I spend making sure I’m not without my favourite cuppa! People often ask me how to make the perfect cup of tea, and I always tell them the same thing: while there are some fail-safe rules to be followed, at the end of the day, a cup of tea is so personal. Really, there isn’t just one perfect way to make it – you should enjoy it just the way you like it.
To make your own perfect cup of tea, you’ll need:
loose leaf tea
an empty tea bag (you can buy bags from most loose leaf tea shops)
a porcelain cup
a thermometer
a teapot
a tea cosy
MAKE YOUR OWN TEABAGS
SIT BACK AND RELAX
Finally, it’s time to relax. It’s such a beautiful experience to me to have a cup of tea and I make so many memories when I share it with family and friends. It brings people together, welcomes people into our homes and has long been a tradition in Britain for that very reason. So cheers guys, hope you enjoy your cuppa today. And remember, only you know how you like your tea – just have fun making it!
