So now you know how to make tea!

Know Your Brew 

Black Tea:

The Classic! Strong, bold, and wakes you up. Great with milk and sugar, or a squeeze of lemon. Perfect for an English Breakfast.

Green Tea:

The Fresh Start. Lighter, a bit grassy, and packed with good stuff. Great on its own, especially after a heavy meal.

Herbal Tea:

The Calmer. These aren't even tea—they're just hot water with lovely things like mint, chamomile, or ginger! Great for chilling out before bed.

The Flavour Boost

The Spice Rack: Drop a cinnamon stick into your black tea while steeping for a warm, cosy flavour.

Fresh Ginger: Grate a tiny piece of fresh ginger into hot water before adding your tea bag for a kick (great for digestion!).

Citrus Zest: Use a vegetable peeler to get a strip of lemon or orange zest and drop it in. The oil in the peel gives a massive, fresh aroma.

Tip 2: The Sweetener Swap (Healthier Eating Tie-In)

• Instead of refined sugar, try a small spoonful of honey (especially good with ginger or lemon) or maple syrup.

• For herbal teas, adding a few fresh mint leaves can provide a natural sweetness without any sugar at all.

Recipe 1: Iced Sunshine Tea (The Summer Upgrade)

• What you need: 2-3 Black Tea bags, a jug of water, Lemon Slices, a handful of Frozen Berries.

• The process: Brew the strong tea, pour it into the jug of cold water. Add lemon slices. The trick? Use the frozen berries instead of ice cubes—they cool it down and flavour it as they melt!

☕ Recipe 2: Bedtime Bliss (The Calming Brew)

• What you need: 1 Chamomile or other herbal tea bag, a tiny pinch of cinnamon, a spoonful of honey.

• The process: Brew the tea with the cinnamon pinch. Stir in honey. This is your cue to relax after a long day of "Complicated" cooking!

4. Quick-Fire Tea Facts (Fun & Engaging)

Use quick, punchy facts to fill out the page and make it feel authoritative but fun.

• Did you know all Black, Green, White, and Oolong tea comes from the same plant (Camellia sinensis)? It’s all about how they are processed!

• Don't burn the green! Use slightly cooler water for Green and White teas to prevent them from tasting bitter.

• It’s a Tradition! Tea is central to many traditions (like your "Afternoon Tea" section)—from a British cuppa to Japanese Matcha ceremonies.
