    I have had loose tea that you have to prepare with a little steeping ball and tea in teabags I just have never heard of ‘builder’s tea’. it doesn’t sound like a brand so what does it mean?

    edit: i gave up and googled it, now i understand, i usually drink my builder’s tea without milk or sugar!

        Na, builder’s tea is just very strong tea, like leaving the (bog-standard supermarket) tea bag in there for about ten minutes

          That just sounds like a normal tea to me!

          Is it still builder’s if you add the milk at the latter part of the steeping?

            On the one hand if that’s a normal tea then you’re an absolute builder, on the other I don’t think any builder would ever call brewing the tea “steeping”!
