That's a good reason for putting the milk in first (for a pot) - if you accidentally slop too much into an empty mug you can pour a bit out....

I'm the only person who drinks regular tea so I use tea bags. I always put the milk in last and give the tea bag a few good squeezes before I take it out.

But how do you know it's too much, when you haven't poured the tea in yet.

This is also my preferred method, I squeeze the tea bag against the cup with the spoon. Then I add milk, strong, like transport cafe tea

That's exactly what I do, it works perfectly well for my needs and makes a decent cuppa every time.

It's all go in this old folks' home isn't it.

Sounds perfect.... Plus a few chocolate biscuits on the side. And then maybe a few more.

Nothing beats a good strong cup of tea. That's why I'm always careful with the milk ...

Funny though, if I was making a pot for myself back home I'd pt the milk in first but I was able to make sure I'd whet the tea long enough before I poured it

I like a nice glass of tea with lemon though, too.

You have to warm the pot first, then add the tea and then pour in the boiling water and let it brew.. there is nothing like a good hot cup of tea.

Ah, like I said above, if you're making a bag in a mug, the milk has to go last...

Yorkieabroad

err, you can see how much you poured in....?

Yorkieabroad

Hot or cold........careful how you answer
