How to make a cup of English tea

The British have their afternoon tea about 5 clock, but you can drink at any time - only a cup or a snack such as cookies, biscuits or muffins. Many British people add milk to their tea. Milk tea was a new idea for me to make a trip to England a few years ago. British brother-in-law showed me how to do it.

Many commercial teas are available, as Bigelow, Tetley's, or Barry Lyon. You can often get packages of varieties or samples to help you zero in on the mix and the brand that you like.

We also found a "British Blend" Tetley is on sale in the United States. If you want, you try to look at international food stores.

And, we heard a tea called London Fog -a mixture of hot milk, tea, Earl Grey syrup and vanilla. That sounds good for a snack in the afternoon!
