thinking about our neighbors across the pond while sipping my cup of Twinings Black Currant, after the trouble of making it properly that is ..
water just to boil (200 F), pre-heat cup with a hot water rinse, pour hot water,
*then* immerse the tea leaves, 3-4 minutes depending on desired strength, slowly remove tea leaves, no squeeze, no shake (avoid the bitter run off)ahh
I don't know if twinings is considered great or good or ok but my taste buds like it. usually it is English Breakfast but i felt adventurous this morning :)
considering the medicinal (ie. laxative) effect Black Currant tea seems to have ???
