Learn how to make a better cup of tea...

Step 5 - Drinking your cuppa

Congratulations! You have made your cup of tea.

It is now time to drink it. If you are unsure of the correct method to do this, read the brief guide below.

  • If necessary, remove the teaspoon from the teacup.
  • Pick up the teacup with your hand of preference, using any or all fingers except the little one.
  • Raise the teacup towards your lips, simultaneously extending your little finger away from the teacup. (This manouvre may take some practice.)
  • Slurp or gently sip, (depending on the company you keep) taking care not to spill the hot tea down your chin.
Please note that it is beyond the scope of this site to fully describe the tea drinking procedure and associated ritual. If you are interested do please visit www.drinkingteawithbernard.com.
