Early shift workers are often fuelled by some kind of substance other than utter devotion to their job and obedience to the 03:00 alarm.
Our Carol is no exception. She is powered by tea – or her idea of it, anyway.
Here is your quick guide on how to make the perfect cup of Carol Kirkwood tea:
You will need: milk, a mug, a teabag, hot water, milk, and (you guessed it) milk.
Heat the mug, or it will be stone cold. Put tea bag in. Add 5cm of hot water. Let tea bag briefly sniff hot water. Remove after a nano-second and discard.
Pour in half a litre of milk until mug is full and serve immediately with a spring of sunshine. Approximate colour – baby formula white.
Receive your hug, smile, effusive thanks and now you can get on with making more normal tea for the rest of the team.
We love you Carol!
