A Nice Strong Cup of Tea

I love my cuppa. The purists won't like me using tea bags, but I have many cups a day so they're very convenient. I also make it in a mug and take milk and a little sugar. I read a while ago that to make the best cup of tea you warm the pot and let the brew fuse for several minutes - I like mine hot so I don't dwell too long.

Anyway, yesterday I

• put water in the kettle and switched on;


• filled the mug with hot water from the tap and then dried it;


• put a teabag in the mug


• put a little sugar in the mug;


• waited for the kettle to boil;

...and then! Poured the boiling water into the tea caddy!
