Twinings' Perfect Brew

How to make the perfect brew according to Stephen H.B. Twining, 10th generation of the famous Twinings of London line:
  • Be patient and take your time.
  • Use good-quality tap water because it's oxygenated
  • Fill the kettle with fresh water. If it's boiled too many times, it loses its oxygenation.
  • After the kettle boils, leave it for three to four minutes to cool to the correct temperature or use a digital kettle.
  • Warm the teapot by swirling boiling water around it.
  •  Use a tea bag or a teaspoon per person.
  • After you add water, let the tea brew for at least three minutes.
  • Serve in your favourite way - with milk, sugar or lemon.
