Tea lovers!

Howdy tea lovers..... please help!

For a while now ive been having a debate with a freind on here about the art that is tea making!
He insists that you should put your milk in the cup first then water, sugar after...
I always leave the milk till last.

what bout you guys?

i know silly poll but just a bit of fun

 

[Ezteq]

teabag, sugar then hot water, let it brew for a bit then squeeze out the bag and then you add the milk sheesh, any other way is just sacralidge!

 

[Sissyfoo]

Apparently it is better to heat the mug first with a bit of hot water, empty it, pour in some milk, add tea bag, add boiling water, leave to simmer for 2 minutes (no more, no less) and then stir 5 times.

 

[Gungo]

Tea bag in the mug, Hot water in first, then add milk to desired strength, 3 stirs clockwise, 5 counter clockwise then the customary 3 taps with the spoon on the edge of mug.

 

[Ezteq]

ooh little bit of info on coffee whilst we're talking hot beverages, if your making instant always leave the kettle for a few mins after its boiled as if you pour boiling water on it it burns the coffee and gives it a bitter taste.


this information was brought to you by the letter Z and the number 6!

Milk in tea is just vile...

Let it cool down if it's too hot, all the other crap kills the flava flav.

 

[Raven]

you need the water to be 100 C at the moment it hits the tea bag, as someone said above, heat the mug a little first, add the milk only when it has brewed enough.

 

[spook]

No milk in tea! Milk are for babies, cereal and the morning after a tough night.

Beehoney on the other hand... mmmm (good for throat when ill too!)

 

[Bahumat]

i love tea i put the milk in first

oh and if you wanna have something nice, get half a cup of baileys, half a cup of lemonade, watch it curdle and then harden into fizzy chocolate moose...i leave the choice to eat it up to you.

 

[Lamp]

add the milk only when it has brewed enough.

Absolutely.

 

[haarewin]

green tea and red tea.
get away with that filthy cow lactate.

 

[Amanita]

Best to brew it in a pot imo

But if you're lazy like me then milk last!

 

[Dakkath]

The best cup of tea you'll ever make is using a tea pot, a tea strainer and tea leaves

[1] Boil the water - the hotter the water, the better the tea will be!!!
[2] Put tea leaves & the freshly boiled water into the teapot and left to brew for a minute.
[3] Open tea pot, stir, leave to sit for another minute
[4] Put milk in the cup/mug of your choice
[5] Pour tea solution through appropriate strainer into cup
[6] Add sugar if required (and stir)...
[7] Drink

Tea leaves taste sooo much better than tea bags imo

 

[WiZe^]

coffee > tea

 

[Krait]

Milk first.

The scientists say so !!

 

[Naetha]

Black tea ftw.

Milky tea always leaves a slightly sick taste in my mouth

 

[Outlander]

nice strong cup of tea with a dash of milk

 

[[slim]]

[cHodAX]

Tea bag in the mug, Hot water in first, then add milk to desired strength, 3 stirs clockwise, 5 counter clockwise then the customary 3 taps with the spoon on the edge of mug.

As God intended

 

[Outlander]

I will generally use a teapot and let it brew nicely for a while. have milk in cup and then add tea.

If I have to make the tea in a cup then I will stir the bag in the cup for a while and let it sit, then once it looks strong enough I will remove teabag and add milk.

[Haggus]

Tea suxx, but always

Tea bag
Sugar
Hot water (DO NOT STIR YET)
Milk
Stir

 

[crispy]

instant coffee, water, more instant coffee to make it thick

 

[Mojo]

i find if the milk goes on the teabag before the water it seals the tea in the tea bag and it takes an age to brew, so milk last unless u like to wait for evah!!

 

[Yeke]

Tea bag in > suger > water > stir for approx 10 seconds remove and sqweze t bag against spoon with finger >if your male pretend it didnt hurt if female jump around holding finger > milk > stir

anything else is just wrong :/

 

[Garok]

Milk after bag dunking .. and Bag must be of the finest quailty is not cheap monkey tea!

 

[Rediknight]

you can't just ask that question like that - we need more details.

Is it made in a pot or single cup bag?

If it's from a pot of real leaf tea, then the milk and sugar go in first. If you're making it in a cup with a bag then last.

I vaguely remember being told that pouring boiling water into milk scalds the milk or something, but if poured from a pot onto milk, it's cooled enough in the pot to not scald it... or something... stuff

i dunno - im very vague on things that happened more than about an hour ago...
