How to make a proper cup of tea!
We have just returned from a trip to Sweden, and after having an interesting conversation with a young Swedish lassie who has spent time in Ireland, about our obsession with the eating of "spuds" for dinner every day and our drinking of tea, I realised that how we "make" tea is probably something that not everyone understands – so here goes:
"How to make a proper cup of tea"
First of all go out and buy a packet of good quality tea leaves – I usually buy Barry’s Gold Blend.
Boil the kettle, then rinse the tea pot with some of the boiling water – return the kettle to boiling point – this is very important, add 1 desert spoon of tea leaves to the warmed pot, and fill with the boiling water – leave to draw for 4–5 minutes before pouring – when you get used to this tea you will never buy tea bags again!!
