Hey Oscar...

[Oscar]

Oscar i have a question about proper English tea.
i use loose leaves, English breakfast, Earl Grey and others. recently i read an Englishman say to add the milk as soon as you add the hot water! i had never done that, but rather let it steep first. so i've tried this method and it seems a bit weak but alright.

which is correct for a proper cuppa?

Adding the milk as soon as you add the hot water Is a crime.

No. The correct method Is to warm the pot by swilling boiling water around It and then tipping It away. Add the tea and boiling water and stir for a few seconds to help the leaves Infuse. Leave to steep for 2 minutes only and then stir the pot again before pouring. Then add the milk and sugar.
