Notes
- The tea bags will need to be removed immediately after the cooking time has been completed as if they are left in too long, the tea may become bitter.
- Try adding a pinch of bicarbonate of soda to help reduce any bitter flavour, if needed. Add it just after removing the tea bags from the hot tea.
- You can use a calorie-free sweetener instead of sugar, though you will need to adjust the amount to your desired sweetness as some sweeteners measure the same as sugar while others require less.
