Pfft call yourself a Yorkshireman Gilly? Yorkshire and Tea and like Torville and Dean.
It's about the only thing you can do right on t'other side of hills.

What's wrong with a teabag? If I spent that long getting a cup of tea (which I usually drink in about 30 seconds flat once it's cooled) I'd never get anything done.

or like scottish and tightfisted
There's a time and a place for 'milk first' and it's quite simple...i can't stand 'milk first' people
Tea from a pot = milk first
Tea from teabags = milk last
This is so the tea can brew properly, nothing else.
Someone once tried to explain to me it was from days gone past when bone china wasn't as durable as it is today and the hot tea would crack the glaze if there was no milk in the cup to quench the heat. That's gonads if ever I heard it.

Thread fails. Or I fail, either or.
Cant believe you made a thread about how to make a cup of tea. Can you also do one for spreading butter on my toast, Im not sure I have the angle of the knife perfected
You should be using reverse osmosis water to make it perfect.

See I'd been using a spoon, is a knife better?
Not to sound too much like a kid but my mom told me it was because straight tea will stain the good china cups
I asked her why she always put the milk into the cups first when using a teapot. I assumed it was for the heat reason you mentioned.
I've got a teapot, works great when you're hard at work programming/gaming and you don't want to keep getting up to make new tea. Wrap a tea towel (har har) around the teapot and it'll keep hot for a good while.
Even ignoring Gillys abominations there are so many horrible things said about tea in this thread.
You never let it cool! Tea should scald the back of your throat on the way down!
Ireland really is the true home of the decent cup of tea. All you english are letting the americans take over with that coffee rubbish of theirs.
