A couple of points. You need to wait for the water to actually boil, the Kettle will cut out when it's hot enough. You also put too much water in the kettle for what you needed which meant it took longer to boil and also used more electric. But as a first(ish) attempt it wasn't too bad. Everyone has their own preferences over the strength of the tea and how much milk, so just vary it up to find out what you prefer.

the best way to squeeze the bag if it has the string attached is to fish the bag out with the tea spoon, hold it over the tea, and then wrap the string around the spoon and bag nice and tight. Easy, maximum squeeze, no mess and no risk of dropping the bag back into the tea just after you've squeezed it (which I always do because I'm and idiot). Works a treat, but I never really get bags with the strings on.

FYI, electric kettles automatically turn off when the water is boiling. You want to use boiling hot water for making tea, it actually makes a difference. When you switched it off the bottom was starting to boil but it wasn't quite there.. Once it's made, let it cool to your prefernce (piping hot tea isn't my thing but for some the hotter the better.) Couple of tips, High pour and stir the bag in the cup a few times, then squeeze against side of the cup with the back of the spoon. 1 spoon of sugar would be my personal fave for tea, especially if having with a fry or toast or similar. If you find that refreshing, you should try it black or better still some good fruit teas.. Still not majorly popular in the UK But are MASSIVE in eastern europe, mid-east, russia and asia.. Would have never tried them myself if I didn't spend some time in Kyiv but they are super refreshing and great when it's cold. Like the anit-fruit ice-lolly. 😁

Most people use a whistling tea kettle, like the Le Creuset Q9401-17, to heat the water for their tea. This results in boiling water, which is too hot for many types of tea. Fortunately, there are some ways you can make the water temperature optimal for your brew. The easiest solution is to simply add cold water, or to let the water cool for a bit before pouring it over your tea leaves. Use a thermometer to check the water temperature for better accuracy.

A few tips for you brother. - Only put in roughly as much water as you're using, the more water in the kettle, the longer it takes to boil. - Start boiling the water before anything else (effiency you know ;). - When it comes to milk and sugar, put in as much or as little as you want, this is where peoples preferences mainly differ, make it how you like it. - Same goes for the length of time you steep the tea for, though anything below a minute and whats the point really? - Teabags with the stupid dangly string attached are usually a weaker/less genorous equivelant to it's stronger, sexier counterpart (Only applies to British brands I think). I could tell this was true with Yorkshire because when you took the bag out it was really light and clear, you could have a left a normal Yorkshire teabag for like 30 seconds and it still would have been darker than that after squeezing, use the good stuff. - The Spoon Squeeze........you got it just turn the spoon around. Okay hope that helped a bit, love you guys, almost as much as I love tea xxx

Sugar in tea is a kind of addictive habit - I'll explain. From the time when I first started drinking tea as a kid, I always had sugar, mainly I suppose due to the fact both my parents had it. When you have sugar all the time, trying to drink it without seems to taste much worse however, as an adult I weaned myself off putting it in and now I love tea without and, if I put sugar in, I hate it because it makes it sickly to my taste buds. If Queen Boomer drank it regularly without sugar for a while she would get used to it and then love it to the extent putting sugar in would taste worse.

As others have said, you should leave the kettle to finish boiling as the kettle will turn off automatically once it hits boiling. Black tea requires boiling water to brew properly, unlike green and white teas that brew at lower temps. Your early cut off was probably more like 90-92 degrees C. Brew time 2-3 mins is good enough. As for the milk and sugar, that’s all down to personal preference. Drink it however you like it! Personally, I’ll have a bit of milk and no sugar. Another tip, just boil the amount of water you’ll be using, will boil even quicker and also save energy ;)

The kettle will turn itself of when it has boiled. That is when, and only when the water is hot enough guys. to squeeze with a tea spoon give the bag a quick stir then use the spoon to press the bag against the side of the mug to ensure that you have got as much flavour in the tea as possible. It is fine to add sugar to taste should you wish. Usually one or two tea spoons is enough. With the milk, add to suit your taste, not someone elses. There is no right or wrong way to enjoy the taste. Only the preperation is important.

The "ACTUAL" proper way you should make tea is to add two tea bags to a small tea pot, and boil gently (stew) on the hob for around 10 minutes. Then pour tea into a cup and add a little milk. That's how it was done years ago, now people are too much in a rush and boil a kettle to make the tea. This requires the "pressing of the spoon" to extract tea out of the teabag whereas the "stewing" in the pot, does this for you, and in a much better way! (edit: and taste!)

Different step in my area of Yorkshire, you need a tea pot to brew with, we don’t use the drawstring but the bag only and allow the kettle to switch itself off.. Before pouring stir the tea in the tea pot. Milk and sweetener first in the cup, pour after 2 - 3 mins of brewing the tea into the cup then stir for a few seconds. Doing it this way reduces the temperature of the cup so not to burn your lips.

I go for a biscuit colour. So add more milk. A good splash of milk. And sugar, usually between 1-2 depending on if I need the boost. And yes, tapping a spoon twice is the British code for "tea is ready"

The blue light on the kettle indicated it's too cold, it would change to red when ready and automatically switch off. The squeeze is, pick up the teabag with the spoon, holding the paper square at the end of the string then wrap the string tightly around the teabag and spoon, when you get to the end, use the paper square to press into the teabag. Before that, repeatedly dip the bag into the mug to released more flavour. As for sugar, start by adding just a quarter of a teaspoon of sugar to taste, add more if wanted but only by another quarter of a teaspoon at a time.

I let my tea bags steep for 5 minutes. Apparently that's the optimum time to get the most antioxidants (the beneficial part of tea) while still remaining hot enough to enjoy. Also kettles turn themselves off when fully boiled. Need to be a rolling boil to hit 100°C.

The "Spoon Squeeze" is done the opposite way that you attempted it - lift the teabag out with the spoon, then (whilst the tea bag is still being held as if you were about to eat something with it) press it into the edge of the mug. It's easier if you've left yourself a little space so that you won't be re-submerging the teabag. Also, if you're going to add sugar, do it before milk, otherwise it may not fully mix into the tea and you're left with a clump of it at the bottom of your mug

Met a retired tea mixer and taster a while back. His advice was - always pour the just boiled water over the tea. Leave 2-3 minutes and STIR before removing tea bag ( or the loose leaves) then add the milk. NEVER LET THE TEA LEAVES COME IN CONTACT WITH THE MILK. The important things are, water that has just boiled, stir the bag and take out before adding milk. If you use loose leaf tea, that adds another flavour level, but you need special types of strainers for that and the faff level increases!

Spoon squeeze? Those bags look a bit smaller than the standard ones but anyway, usually give a bit of a stir when youre about to remove teabag and fish it out using the bowl of the spoon (we don't generally have strings on our teabags), squeeze against the inside/top of the mug. If you've left the bag in for a bit longer than you were planning for you might skip the squeeze as it might make the tea a bit too bitter with the extra tannin. (Some people dont squeeze at all because of this). If you dont squeeze have something nearby to put the teabag in as it will drip. One fancy way of squeezing with a stringed bag is to scoop out the bag, wrap the string around the bag and bowl of spoon, pull the string.

Usual tea bags don't have the string and tags so would squeeze as you did. However for that style bag I put the bag in the spoon and wrap the string around the spoon and pull it tight carefully and the string will squeeze it all out then bin it.

Right FFS making a cup of tea the proper way, 1 boil the electric kettle until it turns off (the water in the kettle will be 100 degrees) 2 put 2 teabags in the cup (builders tea) pour boiling water straight away on the teabags 3 using a small spoon (teaspoon) push the bags against the side of the cup allowing the water in and out of the bags (exchanging the brewed tea with fresh water inside the cup) 4 add sugar, 1,2,3 spoonful's to taste 5 add milk because your tea is now strong enough when adding the milk it will be fine to add a reasonable amount.

Need to wait for the kettle to finish boiling. It has to be hot. The 2 minute rule for removing the teabag is essential and not to debate for another 30 seconds as that makes the tea even stronger. I would pour enough milk to give it a lighter tan rather than a dark one. Not too light though as you don't want itvtoo milky. Drink hot. If you let it cool down, it'll become stronger tasting imo.

That was a perfect brew, dont listen to those suggesting to add more milk. I would also say semi skimmed milk is the most popular to use with tea if you have that, your milk looked abit creamy. I do prefer tea with no sugar but once in a while ill have one spoon of sugar.

You started squeezing the bag correctly between spoon and side of the mug. 👍 The kettle wasn't fully boiling (it'll automatically switch off after a few seconds of full boiling). Nice job making the tea. I'd have doubled the amount of milk in mine, stewed it for 2-3 minutes including about 30 second 'mashing' (see below). But strength of tea, amount of milk and amount of sugar is all to personal taste. Strength of tea is roughly: 1. Weak ('show the tea bag the water') - about 1 minute stewing. 2. Medium - about 2-3 minutes. 3. Strong ('builders tea') - 5+ minutes. 4. You can get a strong flavour in a shorter time by 'mashing' (stirring the teabag in the cup) for a minute or so. Makes for a stronger flavour but also slightly different flavour than stewing the tea for a long time.

British born and bred, I have 3 sugars in my Yorkshire tea. We use teaspoons, not table spoons. For best results, stir the bag in the cup, lift the bag with the spoon out and in several times, until the liquid is a nice golden brown. This way the tea gets infused with the boiling water quicker, so that you don't get any bitter taste.

You need 2 teaspoons to squeeze the bag once the teabag is inbetween the spoons just apply pressure to the top spoon while the lower spoon is held over the mug. You need alot more milk than one cap it should be a light brown colour when mixed like a chocolate milkshake colour. Also make sure you use fresh airated water in your kettle each time you make a cup of tea. Re-boiling water will leave the water tasteing terribly flat as all the oxygen has been boiled out of it. Also reboiling water can concentrate any bad chemicals that were present in the original water.

The secret spoon squeeze gets the last of the tea-ness out and into the cup. The teaspoon is then used to transfer the (nearly dry) teabag to wherever your compost bin is and the residual wetness (and flavor) in the spoon is then dislodged into the cup by tapping the handle (not the bowl) of the teaspoon on the rim of the cup. Singing patriotic songs while doing this is (like whether you put sugar in) a matter of personal taste. Drinking tea during pregnancy confers dual-nationality on your offspring....

use two spoons and squeeze the bag between. Though, proper tea is mashed in a teapot. Tea pot, pre warmed with small amount of hot water, poured out. Then put the tea bags in, normally 2, let it mash, 2 or three mins, then pour into a cup.

NO! We have tea pots for a reason. You put the water in the tea pot. This cools the water slightly. Then you add the tea bags. One per person and one for the pot. The milk goes in to the cup first, so the first drops of milk don't burn. If making a cup for one, water into cup first, add tea bag, wait 2-3 minutes (do not stir!). Remove teabag and add milk.

If you were making a cup of tea the refined / traditional way, you would actually heat a tea POT ( not a cup) by swirling and emptying boiling water round it first then add a couple of the bags , stir a few times and leave for 3 mins or according to preference. (This is known as Leaving the Tea to Draw) Then put half an inch or so of milk ( again according to preference) in a cup and top up with the tea from the pot. To be even MORE refined, use LOOSE tea in your pot and use a tea-strainer when pouring into the cup.

Maybe use two spoons to squeeze the tea bag, like tongs. I don't drink tea but have Yorkshire tea for visitors. Irrespective of the number of people drinking it I make the tea pouring the boiling water into a teapot containing one or more bags (I have teapots of different sizes) and let it brew in there before pouring it into mugs. A bit if squeezing in the pot is allowed! (My mum always said china mugs were better and retained the heat better.) Milk added to taste.

I'd have let the kettle finish boiling and click off itself. I also would have agitated the bag a little in the water to get it started (especially with those particular bags that are pretty tightly packed) and put a touch more milk, but a solid effort! Sugar is optional. While I occasionally have it, I almost always have tea without, which given the amount I drink is probably a good thing. I like the clean and slightly dry taste of tea. It's refreshing, comforting and unlike coffee, does not have a lingering aftertaste. When I am working, I pretty much always have a cup of tea on the go. A pack of teabags last me a couple of weeks.

Everybody has a different opinion, but my ultimate recommendation would be, water should be 90 Celsius rather than boiling ideally (some fancy UK kettles let you set the temperature exactly), two UK heaped tea-spoons full of sugar, and tea bag first into the water. Tea bag should be in for no longer than one and a half minutes, and should not be squeezed prior to removal. You stir vigorously after you have removed the tea bag before adding the milk and stirring again. I would typically use around 5 times the amount of milk you used and go for the 1% fat "semi-skimmed" milk. I usual dunk a McVities Rich Tea biscuit, or similar generic clone. When I have boiled water in the microwave, as a test previously, it ruined the flavour of the tea. Yorkshire Tea (not gold) is a pretty solid choice, though I prefer Tetley's my self.

A few tips… 1…warm the cups first I.e put some warm/hot water in the mugs whilst the kettle boils, tip out when kettle has boiled. 2…let the water actually boil, the kettle should switch off automatically when boiling temp reached. 3…let the bag brew for at least 2 mins, with those little bags you guys were using I’d use two per cup and brew for 3 or 4 mins (they looked a bit wussy to me) . 4…take a teaspoon and fish bag out giving a good squeeze on the side as you go 5…if you’re a tea virgin I’d try neat first I.e no milk or sugar, then try with a splash of milk or more (Queen using the bottle cap was quite a good idea) til you get your preference and same with sugar or sweetener. “White 2 sugars” is fairly common round my way. 6. If you’ve had a shock or had quite a stressful day a hot cup of tea soothes all manner of ills.👍

Add a teabag then boiled water The part is to squeeze the teabag with the back of the spoon against the cup a few times you notice the dark colour of the tea in the cup make sure you don’t burst the teabag then squeeze with the front of the spoon against the cup to take it out then add 1 or 2 tea spoons of sugar if you like stir it abit then add some milk depending how much you want in it stir again then your good to go
