No ones going to choose the milk first option because they're all safely tucked up in their padded cells.

I was told it was the exact opposite but that was by a guy down the pub so I shoulda thought it was probably garbage. I've always done Teabag - Hot water - Milk - Sugar - Biscuit
Standard.
According to most, the perfect cup of tea requires a teapot so the shits really hit the fan now....

If you're using a teapot. Milk first
If you're brewing in the mug. Water and teabag first.

What kind of scoundrel would call himself an Englishman and not drink tea from a fine Tea Bone China Wedgewood cup? Teacups breaking indeed.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again,
if you do milk before water, you should be ashamed of yourself

All about the 4 minute brew. Then add milk after taking the tea bag out.

Teabag + hot water. Let it brew for a bit, remove teabag then add milk.

its all about the fusion... it needs a good temp to happen.
ya can get away with the milk in first, if you only use a little amount of milk (not shaolin style though

).
im a leave the teabag in type of fullah... so its not too bad either way.
but I taught ma daughter - teabag, sugar x3, hot water then about a cm of milk.
milk first in instant coffee.
no milk in green, herbal, mushroom tea!

Adding it one way makes a solution and the other way makes an emulsion
I forgot which way does what, but it's all about milk last.
