  • Pour the boiling water into the teapot and let the tea steep 3 to 6 minutes, depending on the type of tea leaves.

THE PERFECT CUP OF TEA-BRITISH STYLE RECIPE - FOOD.COM



The Perfect Cup of Tea-British Style Recipe - Food.com image

I had a rommate for 6 years who was from England. One day he told me jokingly that he loved this country but "we Americans just don't know how to make a proper cup of Tea" He felt it was his duty to teach me how and he was right! This is the only way I will drink my Tea now. It is really more of a method than a recipe. After careful instruction on how to prepare the proper cup of tea I asked him whether loose tea leaves make a better brew than a tea bag. "Loose tea will always taste better," he said, "but, not so much better as to outweigh the convenience of the bag. What's more important is the type of tea that you choose." "In Britain, the standard supermarket tea bag makes a much stronger and more robust brew than your American tea." He said the closest tea bags he ever found over here that approach the quality of their everyday blends are those marketed as English Breakfast. My friend always made his Tea with lowfat milk and sugar. Explaining "Most English drink tea with a little milk, but never with cream or the high-fat milk that Americans put in their coffee. Low-fat milk is a much better choice. "Make sure you use white sugar. Brown sugar might be OK in coffee, but somehow it never tastes right in tea. As for putting honey in tea, if you tried to do that in Britain, you'd be laughed out of the tea shop." Many thanks to Chris for showing me how to make the perfect cup of tea!

Total Time 3 minutes

Prep Time 1 minutes

Cook Time 2 minutes

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 twining's english breakfast tea bag
boiling water
1 teaspoon low-fat milk (or to taste)
1 teaspoon sugar (or to taste)

Steps:

  • First, you have to boil the water - don't just heat it, boil it. Second, add the boiling water to the tea bag, not the other way round. - putting the water in the cup and adding the bag to it - is a recipe for disaster. Unless the water is at boiling point when it makes contact with the tea, the tea will never properly brew.
  • Make sure the cup or pot is nice and hot before you start. If necessary, rinse it out with near-boiling water. And keep it covered while the tea is brewing.
  • Leave the bag in the water for at least two minutes - longer if you like your tea strong. And for goodness sake, resist the temptation to dunk. Just leave the bag alone until the drink is ready! Add milk and sugar to taste.

  • To Make the Egg Salad: Add the eggs to a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a full boil then turn off the heat and allow to sit in the hot water for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes drain the hot water and cover the eggs with cold water and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Crack the eggs and peel while submerged in the cool water to make them easier to peel. Dry the eggs and set aside. Repeat with all the eggs, then finely chop and add to a mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise, watercress, salt and pepper to the eggs and mix well. To Assemble Sandwiches: Butter evenly all of the bread slices and lay them out in an assembly line. Spread an even amount of the egg salad onto the brown bread slices and top with a slice of brown bread. Spread an even layer of cucumber slices onto the buttered white bread slices, slightly overlapping them. Sprinkle with dill, salt and pepper and top each with a slice of white bread. Cut the crusts off all the sandwiches and cut them into triangles and rectangles.
