Milk before or after

msg11

Making the tea, do you add the milk after the bag is removed or while the bag is still in the cup.

I do it while the bag is still in the cup, so I know how strong the tea will be. Sometimes I have forgotten to take the bag out doing it this way..

The bag stays in the cup untill the tea is drank.

I'll only add milk after i take out the teabag.
Used to work with a lad who did the opposite,it used to put me off my tea for some reason..

After the bag is removed

After the bag is removed, you sicko.

At home. Tea bag out; Milk in.

In Work: Milk in, then lid on, by the time I get to my desk the tea is just purfick.

+1 for this. My work mates say it looks like there is a dead mouse floating in my brew.

Tea bag out, milk in.

Its simple - teabag into mug, hot water, stir, remove bag, add milk

leaving the teabag in, although adding flavour, looks horrible and puts me off my tea

I don't get it, It's all the same. I can tell my the Colour mix when it's strong enough. I got sick of having weak tea doing it the other way.

After the bag is removed... Anyone who does otherwise should be executed!

Read George Orwells Essay on a "Nice Cup of Tea"

http://www.netcharles.com/orwell/essays/nicecupoftea.htm

by putting the tea in first and stirring as one pours, one can exactly regulate the amount of milk whereas one is liable to put in too much milk if one does it the other way round.

Obviously bag out before the milk. Tut tut, no manners the lot of you...

You don't stick it in when the panties are still on....

Fifthly, the tea should be put straight into the pot. No strainers, muslin bags or other devices to imprison the tea.

Tea you fool. Then add sugar while the water is a max temperature. And finially add a drop of milk.

Whatever about the before-or-after debate, I think we can all agree that sugar in tea is plain wrong.

Ewwwwwwwwww why would you leave the teabag in the cup when pouring the milk??!! :eek: It's wrong I tell you, WRONG!:p The teabag is always taken out before I add the milk!! And if I have sugar (which isn't too often) it's added before the milk because then it dissolves fully and tastes far better that way!

Exactly. Why ruin a good cup of tea by adding sugar? Peasants the lot of ye..

This might freak some people out but its how I does it y'all! I get my cup, put milk in first, then I put sugar in and stir, then I put the tea bag into the sugar milk and stir till dark and then I add the boiling water and remove the tea bag at the end, stir and enjoy my homies! :cool:

You're doing it wrong

Corkladddd!!

Its a simple process:

Scald the pot if more than two people are having tea or each cup if less than two people
Insert Tea bags (Tea leaves are better but we won't argue that point)
Reboil the kettle
Pour in Boiling water.
Stir the Tea.
Remove Tea bag from cup.
Add Milk.

At no point should sugar come into the equation unless by means of a nice biscuit.
Dunking isn't allowed for fear of a soggy biscuit in the cup!!!
