Here is the recipe of a nice cup of tea.
1/ Use Barry's as Lyon's doesn't make good tea ( yes bog standard tea bag tea )
2/ Boil you kettle and pour you water in your mug, on the tea bag ( do not Re-boil water!! Use new water each time)
3/ Use a spoon to stir the tea bag up and down the mug in a dipping motion
4/ Repeat 13 or 14 times
5/ DO NOT SQUEEZE THE BAG
6/ Add a bit of milk and sugar according to your tastes
7/ You can serve your tea accompanied with Fig rolls or biscuits of your choice.
This tea recipe is a family tradition that has been passed on to me from an older generation ... not my own family though ... someone else's family...
Sorry I had to do a tea post ... as my blog is also about tea. I will be sampling different bikkies over the winter as well, and maybe some different tea shop in Ireland. I will start the 1st ever Tea Shop Star rating ( not sure if I'll write a book about it just yet :P )
Oh dear ... I am still suffering from Post ToI depression ...

Well, you got something right in your recipe -never reusing boiled water, but the rest ain't so good ;P
You need to visit 'House of Tea' in the CHQ centre in the IFSC -that's where I get mine from, and there's loads of choice there!
i guess tea tastes differ... I prefer really strong tea made with loose leaves and with lots of milk.
in winter this is the ONLY drink worth having after a long rainy ride. but luckily the southern hemisphere is finally edging towards summer! i have gotten wet more times than i care to remember this winter. i can't wait for balmy summer rides with no arm warmer!
