To prepare a cup of this black tea, simply place one tea bag into a mug. Pour hot water over the tea bag, ensuring the water is just off the boil for optimal flavor extraction. Allow the tea to steep for the recommended time, typically 3-5 minutes, depending on your preference for strength. Remove the tea bag and discard. You can then enjoy the tea as is, or add milk, sugar, honey, or lemon to suit your taste. For iced tea, brew a stronger batch, let it cool, and serve over ice.

How to keep the rest
