"For most Britons, the 'art' of tea-making involves throwing a bag in a cup, pouring boiling water over it and then squeezing it with a teaspoon to within an inch of its life. So perhaps it's no wonder that according to some of the nation's top connoisseurs, the road to a quintessential brew is one missed by many drinkers."
"The hallowed cup of tea is a national institution in Britain, with 72 per cent of us drinking an average of four cups a day, a recent study commissioned by Aldi revealed. But what it takes to make the perfect brew is certainly one of the most divisive debates Britons have among one another. Should you put your milk in first or boiling water, and how long do you need to let the tea bag sit for?"
Most Britons prepare tea by placing a tea bag in a cup, pouring boiling water over it and squeezing the bag vigorously with a teaspoon. Seventy-two percent of people drink an average of four cups daily. The final brew depends primarily on the quality of the tea and the water. Persistent debates focus on whether to add milk first and on optimal steeping time. Practical measures include refilling the kettle with cold tap water and observing exact brew times. A specific, unexpected 'magic' ingredient can further alter flavour and balance.
