Loose Indian tea in a pan of water, 2 sugars, squeezed ginger, crushed cardamom seeds, fennel and whole milk. Very indulgent and only really have in the Winter as a comfort drink  |

"Twynings English Breakfast loose leaf. Not strong, no milk, no sugar.
Or Darjeeling the same.
And I have to say it: Rooibos (there’s no shame in it), strong, no milk, no sugar. "
Yes it's a great cuppa.  |

Currently we’re rocking a twinnings “strong” English breakfast number, we usually have Yorkshire (standard and the best like everything else is from here) tea, however, we were feeling kinky and whilst on a requisition mission in our local aldi we simply threw caution to the wind and made a joint decision to plump for a diplomat gold label…..en sample, it was a very good brew! we take it with 1 sugar (each), well mashed, some (but not much) milk!…..dark, sweet and still a bit transparent like our good selves |

You prepare the mash first thing in the morning. A spoonful of tea leaves, two teaspoons of sugar, two teaspoons of condensed milk, all mixed onto a scrap of old newspaper and the corners twisted together to make a ball. That's your mash.
You take the mash to work down the pit in the bottom of your mashing can, which is an enamelled steel jug with a lid that doubles as your mug. At snap time you get boiling water from the machinery steam pipe to pour into your mashing can with the mash. Let it brew ("mash") for at least ten minutes. You can keep topping up the mash with more water through the afternoon.
Perfect for washing the coal dust down your throat. |
