I always put it in last, so I can tell by the colour when I've put enough in.

Milk last. I am not a tea snob, but it has to have more tea leaves than most American bags have, and can not have an umbilical cord attached. I am Tetley British Blend too.

Depends.
Making a proper pot of tea - milk goes in first
Making a "single" in a mug - milk goes in after the bag comes out.

Like Sultan I go for the colour, which is difficult to do when the milk goes in first. When I stay at my friends house, they always let me finish off my own tea
They also mock me for using 1 sugar.This as gone on for 30 years

There are a couple of British mums around who wander over when they need a decent cuppa - seems they can't make it themselves...from the sounds of it they would be regular contributors to the cooking disasters thread.....

OK , now I think about it, they are brewing tea in a pot. I understand the tea has to be brewed hot, but what difference would it make putting the milk in later ?
