It's that simple! You need to ask a stranger what you know for certain. For example, ask him the question: "Is the sky blue?" If you hear an affirmative answer, then Puzzi is in front of you, and if negative, then his brother is a liar. The trick is that information about what kind of tea the brothers prefer to drink is completely irrelevant for the decision.
The second option is to ask a question embedded within another question. For example: "If you were asked if you drink tea with sugar, would you answer in the affirmative?" Puzzi, who drinks sugar tea and doesn't lie, will say yes. A liar brother would answer “yes” to a direct question about whether he drinks tea with sugar. But since the question contains another question, he will have to lie a second time and he will answer “no”.
