Don't get me wrong, I like super strong tea...but that is abominable!

Everyone knows you only leave the bag in for those fancy herbal teas.

I find with standard fare tea it gives it that deep texture.

Black, just like my women...

You're not putting enough tea bags in or leaving it long enough.

If I put extra tea bags in then the others in the office complain

just easier to use a cup, and at home where I've time for letting it "stew"(is that the term?) I wouldn't bother with a teapot

I remove the teabag before adding milk because I'm not an animal.

I never take the teabag out. Tea gets stronger the more you drink. Fantastic.

As an apprentice in the ESB years ago we used to boil water to make tea on site on a gas ring. I worked under an electrician who made tea that would pass as a substitute for tar.Sweet Jesus it was woeful stuff. So strong a mouse could trot on it and black as soot. Soon discovered that he had lost his teapot and instead lobbed a few teabags into the cold water and boiled the lot.ðŸ˜²

Im more or less the same, I only put a tiny amount of milk in. And using tea bags is not proper tea

If making it in a cup then milk goes in last. If I am making it at home I use the same pot that I have used for the past 15 years that has never seen washing up liquid.I scald the pot and cups first I use loose tea and an infuser 1 tsp per cup and one for the pot let it brew for 3 to 5 minutes depending on the blend milk and sugar first then tea.

I like to make a pot, then put the milk into the pot and pour milky tea from the pot. And yes I have had my life threatened for doing so on occasion.

Ah I love doing that! Thought I was the only one!!!

I actually had some tea last night with milk in it. Rare for me to do so but it was delicious.

Rubberlegs · 06-10-2014 10:35am

If making in the teapot, has to be loose tea, one good spoon for every mug. Let it sit about 3 minutes, good stir of the pot, and pour. No sugar, dash of milk.
If I'm lazy, teabag in cup, pour on boiling water, leave for a few minutes, then squeeze the bejasus out of it, till it's good and strong.
The thought of putting milk on top of a teabag makes me feel physically ill:(

HalloweenJack · 06-10-2014 10:54am

Teabag first. I gag when I see those who go milk first.

WinnyThePoo · 06-10-2014 10:58am

I keep the teabag in and just put a tiny bit of milk in. yum.harsh.

cloud493 · 06-10-2014 12:20pm

I don't think I've ever had tea with the milk in first. I must try it.

Has to be seen to be believed.

I voted before reading the first post and realising its flawed. The post is referring to tea from a pot not tea bags. If using a pot I put in the milk first but not if using a single bag in a cup. The tea bag wont brew properly if cooled down by the milk.

So I should be putting milk in a cup and a teabag in of top of it?

No. The example given is crap as it refers to pre tea bag days!

GinnyR · 06-10-2014 12:56pm

Tea should be made in a pot, nice and strong. Splash of milk after the tea.

My tea routine never changes

:

Teabag in first, then two sugars. Pour in water from kettle then put on toast straight away, stir tea for 30 seconds, take out teabag and add milk. Toast pops up a few seconds later, butter it as quick as possible, and voila! Yummy hot toast and yummy hot tea

Now to go get some

Oh, and Barry's Gold Blend is the tea of choice!
