milk in, teabag in water in in mug Unless using pot then loose tea in but milk in first then pour tea on. Must be because I have it really weak

I put the teabag in first then the milk then the hot water and then sugar and give a good stir, then remove teabag. Yvonne

Right. To make tea properly the water has to be boiling. If you put the milk in first, then it reduces the temperature. So it has to be... teabag, then boiling water, then milk after the tea bag's been removed. NB for coffee, the water should NOT be boiling Glad I can be of help to end this confusion.

If you put the tea bag in before the milk it brews better, but some people think by doing that it stains your cup inside, you can put milk in first but it does not brew as good I know this because I went on a two week course on how to brew a good cup of tea.

You have to put the teabag in before the water, but add the milk. I don't drink tea anyway, just hot water. Deanna

tea bag..boiled water..and then the milk! Annexx

used to put it in after but since married english man i put teabag in then water then bit of milk , i know how strong itll be then

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

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

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

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

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

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(:

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

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!

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

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

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!

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
