Make a perfect cup of tea with Florence Pugh ~ March 6, 2021

who wants to make a good cup of tea

first up boil your water and pointing to

a cattle

so i know to some people

you may be like that's a weird stuff to

start with you boil the water

but since i've spent a fair bit of time

in america in the last few years i can

assure you that not all americans know

that to make a good

cup of tea you need to boil the water

and they use hot water

do not use hot water it will not brew

the tea bag in the correct way

next step next step get yourself a good

mug

a good mug is just as crucial in this

relationship with tea

now i don't have my mugs with me but

actually i don't mind this mug it has a

nice thick lip

so here's another thing you're going to

figure out if you like a thick lip or a

thin lip i like a thick clip

and we're gonna pop a tea bag in my

favorite tea is yorkshire gold

my grandad taught me that at a very

young age and i have not

left that station um yorkshire gold or

yorkshire red

they are a very good classic tea and

to me they personally make the best brew

pop that in there

get your boiled water

and pour that i'd say all the way and

leave an inch at the top

because you need space

okay so you can either let this just be

for a bit and let that brew

go away come back check the news or

something or you can give it a scary

story

because i'm impatient um and then we

have the milk so the reason why you've

left that in

just so that you have enough space for

your milk i

have recently found a sub just

substitute for whole milk i don't

really trust the milk in america but

um i've used oat milk because oat milk

has a nice creamy silky

taste and texture and it's very close to

the whole milk in a tea

and that's what i've been doing for the

last

few years pour that in

and you want it to be

a good color when you put now you also

have to decide

if you're a person that takes your tea

bag out before the milk or you keep it

in

i prefer to keep it in because that way

you can really control the consistency

the thickness and the brew

on your tea um you'll know what i mean

so this is the color which i actually

think is a perfect color already

but see this tea bag as i stir it i

can make that stronger and stronger and

stronger and it's also

getting thicker do you see the tea is

actually becoming like a

thicker drink and that's what i love

i like a good syrupy tea

so i'm going to keep that going and then

i'm pretty good with my color once

you're done with your your color

squeeze that tea bag out pop it in the

bin

and here you have a good cup of tea

cool

sip accordingly yes

that's good too
