Today, our team involved with "The Roof of the World" rally spent a couple of hours at Ahmad Tea in Chandlers Ford learning how to make tea.
Apparently turning a teabag in a mug for 10 seconds isn't exactly the right way of doing things.
The proper way is to put (in a pre-warmed teapot), 1 teaspoon of tea for each cup, and then 1 extra for the pot. Add boiling water, and leave to stand for 4-5 minutes.
The idea behind going to meet Ahmad is because the team will be serving tea to the locals as we make our way from London to Tajikistan. Ahmad have given us some mugs, tea cups, saucers and tea pots with tea cosies. I'm quite looking forward to photographing them, the team and the locals in some obscure places as we serve tea in the oh so British way.
