Perfect Pot Of English Tea With Milk & Sugar

Next up is one of my personal favorite teas to drink during the fall! This recipe from Lavender and Lovage will warm your soul as you sip this tea while relaxing by the warm fire or enjoying your delicious fall breakfast.

If you’re drinking this tea at night you can opt to get a decaf tea, but if you’re going to have it when you wake up, then the caffeine will give you a little extra boost for your day! Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 3 Tsp Loose Tea (like Assam, Darjeeling, English Breakfast, Orange Pekoe, Earl Grey, or Ceylon tea)
  • Freshly Drawn Water
  • Milk
  • Granulated Sugar or White Sugar Cubes
  • Optional: Lemon Slices

  • 2 Cups Milk (any kind will work, dairy free for vegan hot coco)
  • 1 Cup Water (or substitute more milk)
  • 1/4 Cup Cocoa Powder
