Traditions, British Tea

Traditionally brewed in a warmed china teapot, adding one spoonful of tea per person and one for the pot....

Most of us here in Briton like tea strong and dark, but with a lot of milk. Years ago, the milk was poured into the cup first, so as not to crack the porcelain. Here in Briton we drink 165 million cups of tea a day, 62 billion cups per year, In fact we drink so much of the stuff we're beginning to sprout leaves.

• The traditional way of making tea
  Boil some fresh cold water., Put some hot water into the teapot to make it warm, Pour the water away.
  Put one teaspoon of tea leaves per person, and one extra tea-spoon, into the pot. (Or use tea bags)
  Pour boiling water onto the tea, Leave for a few minutes, Serve
  Fancy A Cupper'
  If someone asks you if you would like a cuppa, they are asking if you would like a cup of tea.
  If someone says 'let me be mother' they are offering to pour out the tea for you.
