I do love a good cup of tea. Milk and two sugars in a mug
after leaving it to brew for a proper three minutes. If there’s biscuits or the
sugar comes in proper lumps then it’s even better. But what I can’t suss out is
the use of the humble teapot. Many people can’t. I’ve even had to show an
American how to use a teapot in their own home. I’ve heard it’s mainly for sharing,
but then you can cut corners by using two teabags for three people. But then the
brew loses its strength; which isn’t fun at all. Weak tea is a big no; you may
as well just serve hot water with milk and sugar. And then you have the great
tea urns that must serve the most metallic tea ever. That’s just wrong. It has
to be a fresh brew, and you have to give it time to brew. Think I’ll put the
kettle on.
