If serving tea for a group it is worth brewing a pot. Loose leaf tea will taste best. The tea should be poured first and any milk, lemon or sugar added afterwards.
Our guide to tea, the most British of drinks, explores the history of tea-drinking, its place in British society, how it should be made and tea-drinking etiquette.
