How to make tea exactly like the Queen

In a YouTube video on his channel The Royal Butler, Mr Harrold explained the proper way of preparing a cup of tea.

Mr Harrold adds a teaspoon of loose leaf tea for each person, and one for the pot, to a teapot of boiling water, though he warns not to add more than four teaspoons: if you have more guests to serve, you’ll have to make multiple pots.

Place a tea strainer over the teacup and pour the tea through the strainer into the cup without over-filling the cup.

You can add a slice of lemon if you’re drinking earl grey, or add milk if you prefer.
