There’s nothing quite like a proper cup of Irish tea rich, strong, and full of warmth! Whether starting your morning or winding down in the afternoon, brewing Irish tea the right way makes all the difference. And, of course, using Mrs. Doyle’s loose-leaf tea ensures a smooth, full-bodied flavor that’s truly authentic.
Follow this simple step-by-step guide to make the perfect Irish tea, just like they do in Ireland.
What You’ll Need:
- 2 to 3 teaspoons of Mrs. Doyle’s Loose Leaf Tea
- A traditional Irish teapot
- Freshly boiled water
- A Belleek mug (for that true Irish experience!)
- Optional: Milk, sugar, or honey to taste
Step-by-Step: Brewing the Perfect Irish Tea
1️. Start with Quality Tea
For a truly authentic Irish tea, use Mrs. Doyle’s Irish Breakfast Loose Leaf Tea, a perfectly blended strong black tea with a bold and malty flavor.
2️. Use a Proper Irish Teapot
A sturdy ceramic or porcelain teapot holds heat well, allowing the tea to brew properly.
3️. Add the Loose Leaf Tea
Place 2 to 3 teaspoons of Mrs. Doyle’s loose-leaf tea into the teapot. If you prefer a stronger cup, feel free to add an extra teaspoon.
4️. Pour in Boiling Water
Boil fresh water and let it rest for about 30 seconds before pouring over the tea. This ensures the temperature is just right for proper extraction.
5️. Let It Steep
Allow the tea to infuse for 3 to 5 minutes. Steeping for a shorter time gives a milder flavor, while a longer steep creates a stronger, richer brew.
6️. Strain and Pour
Using a tea strainer, pour the brewed tea into your Belleek mug, known for its classic Irish elegance.
7️. Add Milk & Sugar (Optional)
Traditional Irish tea is often served with a splash of milk and a teaspoon of sugar, but you can enjoy it however you like.
8️. Enjoy Your Perfect Cup
Sit back, relax, and enjoy your perfectly brewed Irish tea. Whether you’re pairing it with a biscuit or a slice of Irish soda bread, this is true comfort in a cup.
