The water for tea MUST be boiling. Every Brit knows that. You pour a little in the pot before it reaches the boil, then swirl it round, empty, add the leaves and then the water which must be fully boiling.
Otherwise this was fun. But the use of not-boiling water for tea is why we cringe at the way Americans and Europeans make it!
I love Giles at last relieved to have a moment away from the children to savour the important things in life.
