Milk and tea!!

During a recent conversation on preferences to adding milk after the tea has been poured or to add milk before tea.. I discovered that the origin in England of adding milk before the tea originated as a result of hot tea poured in to porcelain would often crack the cup, hence why milk was added as a coolent..

I always assumed milk was added to weaken the taste of tea.

Any tea geeks like me on here feel free to add your comments..

Usually add my milk after, but Tea has to be served in a China cup or mug, for some reason it makes the Tea taste different...

Put the milk in after. So then you can vary the taste of the tea to individual preference. Cant beat dunking a custard cream or a chocolate bourbon though mmmmm

I have had to discussion quite a few times with people and I agree with you completely. Incidentally, quality filtered coffee should be served in a china cup or mug, too - it really does make a difference if you have sensitive taste buds.

now I am not fussy, oh no not I!

I only like red bush tea and that has to be milk in last and only a tiny drop.

Coffee has to be ground, brewed in a cafetiere that has been warmed first, a cosy must be put on it to keep it hot and it must be served in my special cup with saucer (a gift from a friend, bone china shaped like a cabbage...the cup not my friend) milk in first.

Like I said I'm not fussy

I love to taste tea from a China cup and saucer but I'm clumsy so steer well clear of the cups and saucers, I just stick with my bone china mug it's safer lol

Brighton - even Hove!

Mug of strong tea with a little bit of milk. My taste varies from Asda smartprice at work (meanies!) to organic single estate tea at home. I did balk at paying £40 for 100 grams of tea which looked like twigs though in Harrods. I usually drink Twinings English Breakfast.

That would have been when tea was made properly, in a tea pot with tea leaves.

so it was like pouring boiling water into the cup.

Wear as today cups are made stronger and can take just boiling water poured in then the milk added.

I think there is a little more to the story, the way I heard it the boiling water cracked only the cheaper china, so when tea became affordable for the masses it was found necessary to add the milk first. The upper crust added it after the water. Which makes more sense really, as you can then add the right amount depending on the strength of the tea.

Me, I just take it black so I can taste the tea.

Tea bag (pg tips), then the hot water, batter tea bag with spoon then add milk.

Then discard tea bag after another battering and then sugar if needed

Strong tea with just a little splash of milk added after, just enough so the tea isn't black but not enough to make the tea look cream.

Hubby only likes green tea with a little sugar.

I like to drink my tea on the rolling hills of Nepal, served my my butler in the finest bone china.

However, what I like doesn't count, so I normally just shove a bag in a cup, slosh some water on and a splash of milk and then slurp it down in one go like a wild animal.

Milk second as I like to know how strong the tea is first and adjust the amount of milk accordingly.

I love Yorkshire and have many friends down there - so the following not meant to offend! In Yorkshire there's always talk of the tea there being 'wonderful' due to the water etc. But (here we go....!lol) we find it pretty gross and it develops a 'scum' on top - v probably down to the water being hard and scaly (evidenced by the hairy kettles!lol) Up here the water's wonderfully soft and brings out the flavour far more in a cuppah...and with no scummy layer. So sorry Yorkshire, but..! (OH no, can we EVER return down there!lol)

I was told that a lot of yorkshire no longer gets yorkshire water.. its piped in from further a field and yorkshire water is sent south,.. thats probably why i cant make tea, so i stick to coffee , my excuse anyway.
