Did you know that to make the perfect cuppa using a tea bag you should filter the water if hard,boil it,use your favourite cup or mug, and let the tea bag boil for 5 mins ?

Well i tried it this morn and blimey after 5 mins it blew my tits off,bit strong for me.

'Filter the water if hard'

I'm probably being thick but what does that mean?

If it has iced up it's hard.

What like overnight in the kettle you mean?

I'm not sure that's ever happened to me before when I've made someone a tea in the morning. Though I don't check the kettle to see if the water is 'hard' or not tbh. I lift it to see if there's any in and then, assuming there is, bang it on until boiling.

Go abroad for a week. As soon as you get back home put the kettle on and you'll realise you've made a perfect cuppa.

Milk first when I make mine as I know how much milk I want. Perfect every time.

When I put milk in second, I get that horrible scaling on top even after filtering the water. Milk first never gets the scaling.

I cycle past Batemans Tower every morning with a bucket. If it's good enough for Matt Holland to paddle his aching bones in, it's good enough for me to drink.

How can you tell if water is hard?


It's to do with the area you live in and the geology of it determining how much calcium and magnesium is dissolved into the water.

The East of England is well known for being a hard water area where as the West Country is very soft.

Yes, a few years ago a report was published saying that the hardest water in the country is at Hatfield, Welwyn Garden City and St Albans.

Hard water has the best drinking taste.

5 minutes! Wouldn't the tea be cold by then?

I only like to dunk my tea bags a few times, that is strong enough for me.

Of course, a lot depends on the tea bags. If you get these 'one cup' ones they are very weak.

3 bags brewed in a 1 pint mug for a *minimum* of 3 minutes, max 5 minutes for me! Can't stand insipid tea ...

Stood on folded over foil, with a small bowl of hot water as a lid, doesn't go cold.
