She is powered by tea &#8211; or her idea of it, anyway.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Here is your quick guide on how to make the perfect cup of Carol Kirkwood tea:<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">You will need: milk, a mug, a teabag, hot water, milk, and (you guessed it) milk.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">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. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Pour in half a litre of milk until mug is  full and serve immediately with a spring of sunshine. Approximate colour &#8211; baby formula white. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Receive your hug, smile, effusive thanks and now you can get on with making more normal tea for the rest of the team. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">We love you Carol! <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Five large plastic milk bottles lined up on a refrigerator shelf, all identical with green labels, neatly arranged against the metallic back panel inside the fridge\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/126afbb1-1316-49ea-bdbc-dfb052c289a9.jpg.webp.webp\"  width=\"602\" height=\"338\" class=\"ssrcss-egie1y-Image edrdn950\"\/>Image source, Matt BraithwaiteImage caption, <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Checking there are sufficient supplies in for Carol\u2019s cuppas<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Not to milk it too much, but we&#8217;ll miss making Carol&#8217;s perfect brewpublished at 08:11 BST 08:11 BST&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":506768,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-506767","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/506767","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=506767"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/506767\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/506768"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=506767"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=506767"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=506767"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
