Instructions:

Boil fresh water in a kettle or on the stove until it reaches a rolling boil. Confirm that you're using good quality water for the best taste.

Place the tea bag or loose tea in your cup or teapot. If using loose tea, you may want to use a tea infuser for easier removal later.

Pour the freshly boiled water over the tea. Allow the tea to steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your desired strength.

After steeping, remove the tea bag or infuser. If you prefer stronger tea, you can steep for a little longer, but be cautious not to over-brew, as this can lead to bitterness.

Add milk to your tea. Remember that approximately two-thirds of Brits add milk last, but feel free to add it first if that's your preference. Adding milk after pouring the tea helps to avoid bitterness.

Sweeten your tea to taste, if desired, using sugar, honey, or a sugar-free alternative.

Stir gently and enjoy your perfectly brewed cup of English tea.

Extra Tips:

When preparing your tea, experiment with different steeping times and milk ratios to find your personal preference.

If you're adventurous, consider trying flavored variations by adding spices or fruits to your brew.

Additionally, pairing your tea with biscuits or scones can enhance the experience, making it a delightful afternoon treat.
