Question for my British friends

[charliesmum]

Okay. I can't make a really good cup of tea, and I don't know why.

I have actual British tea - not Tetley English Breakfast or some American brand calling itself British tea, I have PG Tips, so it isn't the brand, I don't think.

Is it because I'm using tea bags instead of loose tea? Perhaps I'm not boiling the water long enough, or not letting the tea bag seep long enough. Is there an actual time one should be doing these things?

Or is it inherent? years ago I worked with this woman called Wendy who hailed from Manchester, England* and she would sometimes have PG Tips at work, and she would make me a cuppa, and it was always really, really good. Maybe I'm just too American to make a really decent cup of tea.

Help?

make sure the water is boiled, put the teabag in the cup , pour the water over the teabag, let sit for a couple of minutes,
squeeze the teabag with the spoon and string,
add a little milk, add sugar and stir

drink with some biscuits(cookies) and you should be all set,

right now, I have been using Starbucks Awake Tea, its pretty good,

and some Chocolate Chip cookies I think by Oreo

have a great weekend

take care
