Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know
Which English tea should I choose?
For everyday tea, the British often choose a strong black tea like Yorkshire Tea or PG tips , perfect with a splash of milk. Twinings and Taylors of Harrogate also offer more aromatic teas, such as Earl Grey with bergamot or fruit infusions.
How to prepare a proper English tea?
Pour freshly boiled water over your black tea bag, let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes, remove the bag, then add a splash of milk and a little sugar if you like. Should you add the milk before or after the tea? The debate has divided the UK for generations.
What is Irn-Bru ?
It's Scotland's iconic soda, bright orange in color, with a unique and difficult-to-describe fruity taste. Created in 1901, it's often called "Scotland's other national drink," after whisky.
What is ginger beer?
It's a sparkling, non-alcoholic ginger drink, more intense and spicier than ginger ale. Old Jamaica offers several versions, from the mildest to the "Extra Fiery." It's best enjoyed ice cold, or in cocktails.
What is the dandelion & burdock?
It's a traditional British drink, made from dandelion and burdock, with a sweet and slightly aniseed taste, similar to root beer. Ben Shaw's continues the recipe, alongside other classics like cream soda and cloudy lemonade.
What is Horlicks ?
It's a powdered malt drink, prepared with hot milk, with a mild and comforting taste. In the UK, it's the traditional evening drink before going to sleep.
What does anti-waste mean at Candy Dukes ?
At Candy Dukes , nothing goes to waste. Products nearing or past their best-before date are offered at reduced prices, up to 80% off. You get a great deal, and a perfectly good product doesn't end up in the bin. A small step for the planet, and a big treat for those with a sweet tooth.
What is the difference between a DDM and a DLC?
The "use by" date applies to fresh products, such as meat or dairy: once this date has passed, they should no longer be consumed. The "best before" date applies to grocery products: sweets, biscuits, teas, canned goods, sauces, etc. After this date, the product remains safe to eat. Only its quality may change slightly. To reduce food waste, we only offer products with a "best before" date, never with a "use by" date.
