It's time for tea!
If you think of tea, maybe England comes to your mind immediately. After all, Britain has a long tea tradition and many tourists who go there have a cup of tea, weak or strong.
Even though it's good at any time of day, most British people have a tea break in the afternoon. They like their tea strong and dark, but with a lot of milk. Small cakes, biscuits and scones are generally served with the tea.
Tea is an Asian export which arrived in England in the 17th century.
Nowadays traditional English teas are rather old-fashioned but they're still a part of British culture.
By the way if you want to make a typical English cup of tea, let the water boil in a kettle and put the tea in a teapot. When the water boils, pour it into the pot and let the tea brew for about three minutes. Then take a teacup and pour in the brewed tea. Add milk (or lemon) and sugar cubes. Tea is typically served in very fine china.
