Ingredients:
- Irish Breakfast Tea
- Milk
- Sugar cubes
- Lemon slices
- Honey
Preparation:
- Fill the teapot with cold water and bring it to a boil. When the water begins to boil, pour a small amount into the teapot to warm it up. Rotate and tilt the teapot to do this, and drain the water before filling.
For each cup of tea, place 1 heaping teaspoon of tea leaves (without packing them down) into an empty, warm teapot. Pour boiling water into the teapot and steep the tea for 3-6 minutes, depending on the type of tea leaves.
Gently stir the tea to aerate it before pouring it into cups through a strainer. A foam should form on the surface. Serve with milk, sugar cubes, or lemon and honey.
