Before! doesn't everybody?

no milk before tea bag paul.with sugarxxxxxxx(:

definately before!! lol Sarah, xxx

On the odd occasion I do it myself I usually put the milk in after. I heard once from a 'tea expert' on telly that it's 'common' to do so before don't you know.

sounds like i'm a chav on the tea front then dan!!!Lolxxxx(:

Tea Bag in a cup do you mean??? YUK Always make it in a teapot but do put milk in cup before pouring. Not done I know!! Daisy

i always thought it was a north south divide thing. northerners did it - tea bag - hot water - tea bag out - milk southerners - tea bag - milk - hot water - squeeze tea bag like buggery - tea bag out. lol!

There must be one heck of a teapot recession then if the entire country makes tea in a cup! Just doesn't taste the same. Would rather not bother. Daisy

does anyone drink leaf tea.my hubby does but it's just so messy when it comes to cleaning out the pot.xxx(:

When my sister wanted to use the teapot I have to admit it did taste nicer, and also, I found myself drinking about 3 cups worth like some sort of Tetley addict!

eeeuurrrggh my auntie always used tea leaves lisa! you had to smile politely with big clumps of ming stuck in your teeth! lol!

PMSL paul!!i hate that .my hubby only tells me when it gets to the bottom that he made the tea with leaf tea.by that time it's too late.your gagging on it!!xxxx(:

Tea made in a pot, to me, just doesn't taste hot enough! even when the pot has been warmed.

Me, i warm pot, put tea bags in, let it brew, poor into mug then add milk....lovely, just popping off to make one!

If you make tea in a cup then you put the milk in after the tea bag and hot water. If you make a pot of tea, then you put milk in the cup first and then add the tea. Kaye x

I make tea a lot at work, and also for other people when they come round and am amazed at how many people don't actually like tea. They like hot water with a bit of milk in it and a quick dip of the teabag so that the liquid just changes colour. I have finally sold out and use teabags, but when my dad was alive he used to provide us with tea from a warehouse. We always put milk in after the tea has brewed. But when I make coffee with cold milk, I put the milk in first. nell

Use leaf tea, always, in a 'Brown Betty'. Earl Grey is bar far the best, and don't bother with milk. (Nor lemon) Oh and it always taste better from a china beaker than a thick pottery one. jess
