Step 1: Boil Water

Start by boiling 1 cup of water in a small saucepan or kettle. Water should reach a rolling boil as this is crucial for properly steeping the black tea.

Step 2: Steep the Black Tea

Once boiling, carefully pour the hot water into a heat-resistant mug. Place a black tea bag into the mug, allowing it to steep for about 3 to 5 minutes. Adjust the steeping time depending on how strong you like your tea.

Step 3: Prepare the Milk

While your tea is steeping, heat 1 cup of milk in a separate saucepan over medium heat. Stir the milk occasionally to keep it from scalding and develop a lovely frothy texture. Be cautious not to overheat it!
