Customers often complain about the standard of tea served
by caterers. Follow these simple steps to ensure that the tea you serve
is perfect every time.
Only use freshly drawn cold water, ensure that
kettles or water boilers are de-scaled regularly and that teapots
are spotlessly clean.
Teapots should be warmed with hot water, which is
then poured away.
Use the recommended number of tea bags or one
teaspoon of loose tea per cup. For one person use a 10oz tea pot,
for two persons a 20oz tea pot is recommended.
Water should always be freshly boiled and boiling
when added to tea.
Leave to brew for 3-5 minutes before serving. Stir
before serving.
Pour a little milk into each cup before pouring the
tea through a strainer if necessary, and sweeten as required.
