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 :D

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 :wink: ).

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.
