Everyone here at Audley End House likes a good cup of tea.

每位奧德莉莊園的人都喜歡來上一杯茶

Lady Braybrooke makes hers herself in the house with her own urn.

Braybrooke夫人有自己專屬的茶壺

She, I'm told, has it very weak. And she has it made from expensive Indian tea leaves.

而據我所知夫人不喜歡太重的茶味。壺裡泡的是昂貴的印度茶葉

Here in the kitchen we like ours stronger and with a lot more sugar and naturally we

不過在這裡,我們就用平價的中國茶來泡壺

have the cheaper China tea leaves.

加了更多糖、風味更濃郁的茶

This is how I like the girls to make a pot of tea for the kitchen.

接下來,就是女孩如何在廚房泡一壺茶

Firstly, warm the pot.

首先,預熱茶壺

Then add just under a tablespoon of leaves into the pot for each person.

接著加入依人數算好的茶葉,每份不到一茶匙

Pour over the boiling water.

注入燒開的熱水

Then pour the tea into your cup.

將泡好的茶倒到茶杯

Now I like my milk to go in second, but Mary-Anne the kitchen maid always puts her milk in first.

我喜歡在倒茶後才加牛奶,但廚房女傭瑪麗安則習慣先在杯裡倒牛奶

And don't forget to keep the tea leaves so the housemaids can use it to clean the carpets.

別忘了把茶葉留起來,女傭可以拿來清洗地毯

So there you have it. The perfect cup of tea, according to us at Audley End House. Others

接著可以開始享用了,來自奧德莉莊園的美味紅茶

may argue that their way of making tea is the perfect way, the most important thing

也許有些人會爭論他們的方法才是最好的, 不過最重要的是

is to make it how you enjoy it.

你如何享用它

And of course, when you have a cup of tea don;t forget the biscuits.

還有,別忘了一邊品茶一邊來點點心
