Well was having a discussion to day regarding weather you put the milk in first or after.

I personally like to let the teabag diffuse and then add the milk after.

I find the falvour dont flood out if you add the milk first, and the tea ends up weak and milky.

After chatting - i was told you are supposed to add the milk fisrt and then slowly add the tea - so as "not to scold the milk"

Well, sure thats ok if your are pouring the tea from a teapot so that the teabag can still diffuse???

Oh, and the last job i just did - they said i made the best tea, little did they know i was using the teapot!!!

Try putting milk in the kettle with the tea on the ring and boil it all together.

Personally, if I were to drink lots of tea, I would make it in a teapot using loose leaf tea, Twining's Assam to be precise.

I would then pour in the milk first, then the tea, until I get the correct colour.

I like mine very strong AND milky!

However, if I fancy just one cup, then I could make it with a teabag, again, Twining's Assam. I would leave the teabag in the cup for as long as I can, before squeezing the life out of it. Then I would add milk until the desired colour is achieved.

Yes I am anal!

I love strong milky tea, and love Indian tea where one would simmer the tea leaves, milk and spices together before straining it into a mug, yum yum!

Pearl, my old grandpaps was a connoisseur of tea and the metrhod you described above is the only way to make leaf tea. (warm the pot first though).

As for coffee, milk in first, as hot water will burn the coffee allegedly, (even though it's been roasted already, then mashed to bits, drained of all fluid, freeze dried and put in a jar for god knows how long, but it'll burn when you put hot water on it hehehe)

Do what you think is right.

Why change because someone thinks otherwise.

If i am making tea in the teapot i always put milk in the cup first, but if i am being lazy and just making it in the cup i put the milk in after i have added the water and taken the tea bag out.

Yup, I would warm the pot first if I am using it to make leaf tea.

As for coffee, I only drink one cup a day in the morning. Can't be arsed to use the Nespresso machine anymore though, as I prefer to use Alta Rica instead! Less hassle and cheaper!

And I make it with 2 heap teaspoonsful of coffee, 4 heap teaspoonsful of sugar, and one third of the fluid is double cream!

Sad I know but I read the side of a packet of tea bags the other day.. Amongst other things it said to use fresh water and not to re boil water as less air in the water... Helps with diffusing the tea apparently.

A cuppa tea just has to be one of the great british traditions!!
