How do you make your cup of tea? Do you put the milk in before the water goes in or after?

Sugar? Or do you put your finger in it because you're sweet enough! Haha!

Milk (after the water) and no sugar for me, thanks.

Department of useless information now open:-

Milk first is considered to be the correct thing.

This is historic and relates to the use of fine bone china that could possibly crack if near boiling tea was poured straight in - so milk first keeps it cooler and cup holds the tea without leaking - I don't have fine bone china and drink my tea black.

Depends on the tea. If I'm having leaf tea in a tea pot then milk and sweetener first (I don't eat sugar). If it's builders tea in a mug then its milk and sweetener after. This is because tea won't brew properly unless the water is freshly boiled, and putting milk in with the teabag means you won't get the full flavour.

I'm a complete tea nerd.

I don't drink tea or take milk, but I've been told I do make a nice cuppa. Milk always comes last unless the tea is made in a teapot x

Bag, sugar, water then milk. If you put milk in first it tastes horrible

Same with coffee, cow juice last. No arguments

Actually the fine bone China wouldn't crack - the cheap fake bone China is what cracked, so putting the milk in first was the solution - for those who had no confidence in their cheap tea set. That's what I heard anyway.

I don’t take Bovine squeezing’s in my tea…..

In fact I hardly take tea in my tea, which is usually so weak the hot water looks as though it was just shown a teabag rather than having a teabag actually dunked in it…..

As for sugar,,,, ewwwwww no way….
