Don't you just love that first Sunday morning cup of tea?

[Roar87]

Milk in first with tea bag, then water is best.

You may as well skip the tea bag as you're just having warm watery milk

Up at 7am on a Sunday? What is this madness.

Kids McBain. Kids.

Nothing is good on Sunday, since you know it's Monday tomorrow and everyone hates Mondays.

Yes there is - start of another week of retirement and more tea I can not remember what it was like to be working - It seems like another world.

Every cup of tea I make is amazing. I preheat the cups and spoon with boiling water, then one Yorkshire Tea bag per cup. Agitate well before standing for six mins. Squeeze bag against the side of cup and add plenty of milk.

6 mins is too long, especially for yorkshire tea.

Is not that early?!

6 mins is too long, especially for yorkshire tea.

Not if you have soft water and put plenty of milk in.

 

[Gammawolf]

Tea and coffee are vile, so no I do not love it at all.

 

[Xire]

I start my Sunday off with a shot of bourbon

 

[antijoke]

You are right, it's amazing.

Oh, and milk in first.

 

[Madwelsh]

lol @ yorkshire for 6mins??? You could probably pour it out as treacle!! I'm a tetley chap myself, bit mainstream I know, but it's to my taste, not too strong or too weak, I do enjoy a nice cup of English Breakfast from time to time too. As for milk before hot water, I agree - sacrilege!! hehe

 

[tom_e]

I hate both tea and coffee, give me a nice ice cold glass of water to start my day.

 

[XeNoN89]

I love both Tea and coffee but would normally have a coffee on sunday morning!

Milk first! What is this sacralige?

It's just the peasantry again, needing to cool their cheap, easily broken china that they think makes them posh... not everyone can afford decent tea service, but still....!!!

Tea is really for when you're working on 'stuff'... usually filthy engines, although most manly work qualifies.
Also good for stepping off the motorcycle following a sub-zero ride.
PG Tips pyramid bags, steeped for 2-4½mins, depending on taste. 2-3 sugars for the average decent mug, milk to taste.
5-6 sugars if you're brewing up in the standard issue 58 pattern mug, though and 7-8 if using a US issue steel mug.

Coffee, however, is the mainstay of the office worker, ideally black and of no lesser quality than Carte Noir... Nescafe is too rough and, rather than actual coffee, is more than 51% of whatever the factory workers stepped in that morning.

Ideally coffee with milk, sugars as above and half a box of Ouma to go with it - Then we see who the real men are!!

I don't drink tea, we don't even have any milk in the house either.

 

[IronWarrior]

Been trying to give up Tea and Coffee, drink much less these days, but don't know what to replace them with other then Green Tea.

Hot chocolate?
Rooibos?

 

[Clum]

Straight up, socially acceptable junkies, the lot of you

 

[TangoEchoAlpha]

Why does that first tea of the day taste so fantastic? I'm lying in bed with a large mug of hot strong tea, and it's refreshing me, quenching my thirst, and making me feel like I'm ready to get up and forge an empire from the blood of provincials.

Tea is great.

Tastes great if significant other has made it, thereby avoiding the need to leave the sanctuary of bed!

6 mins what on earth? Mine isn't in for more than 30 sec. Don't like stewed strong tea.
