It's the way forward for tea drinkers who like a cuppa by themselves.No need to mess about with a jug then. 😆1 -
Picked up 18 pints of TEA today.

Twinings Breakfast Tea. Teabag in a mug, followed by boiled water and leave to brew. Normally stir the tea bag around before removing and then just a little milk added.
Think we need the season to start soon!1 -

D2 - Yorkshire tea bag in mug, pour on boiled water that was freshly drawn from the tap. Leave bag for a minute, then stir and remove tea bag. Add a splash of milk and 2/3 sweeteners0

C2 or D1. And I don't get why pouring milk out of the bottle afterwards into the cup is such an issue either!0

Barry’s Gold Blend.

Only time you put milk in a pot is masala chai otherwise, milk goes in last.0 -
A few years back we went to a tea plantation in Cornwall. Nice cup of tea but expensive and not really worth the price to be honest. As long as it is real tea and not that green stuff or perfume stuff I’ll drink it.A lot of nonsense is talked about making a decent cup of tea. It’s not too difficult, boiling water added to the tea, let it draw to suit your taste and add a small amount of milk. Drink it while it’s hot.Milk in the teapot? That’s the sort of stuff that Americans would do. And northern tea, I don’t care what it tastes like, I won’t entertain it in my house.0

After having a tour of a tea factory in Sri Lanka I would say what goes into tea bags is the sweepings off the floor. The real stars were the loose teas1

Karim_myBagheri said:On the thread about foods you love but don't get to have much there was a couple of comments about tea (my favourite drink). Mainly about the lack of decent tea available on the continent (it's enough to make anyone vote Brexit) and I know in places like America it's even worse as they have a different electric set up so kettles aren't the norm.
When it comes to tea, I have a particular way of serving it.
A pot for two which needs to be warmed. 2 tea bags (Yorkshire preferably but pg and Tetley are sufficient) hot water first. Then as I can't be bothered to get a separate jug for milk (unless I have guests) the milk is added to the pot.
Leave in there for at least 5 minutes till caramel coloured then poured into a mug or a cup with saucer if guests are present. Then a tea cosy to keep the temperature high placed over the pot for the remaining tea after removing the tea bags.
If not using a pot anyone who adds milk first to the tea bag either has fragile china cups or they're psychopaths.
Biscuit/cake sometimes a nice complement but not necessary. I am a custom to have my tea with any meal. Breakfast, lunch and dinner.
How do others take their tea?
(Season starts soon yeah?)
C3 by the way, for the 2 or 3 cups of tea I drink a year.0 -

I only every use whole rolled tea leaves. Freshly boiled water, full fat milk and if required sugar cubes.I refuse to drink anything made from a bag. Shocking behaviour.1

Totally agree that proper tea is made in a pot with tea leaves. However the best teabags, if drinking alone are Thomson and it's not even close.2

Bag, water, stir, leave, stir, strain, sugar, milk, stir, drink0

Chinese Oolong Tea is a wonderful refreshing cup. The processing of these highest quality oolongs is carried out by a tea master whose experience and technique will have been learned over at least thirty years and is as important as the growing conditions to the quality of the final product.No milk or sugar needed, and the leaves can be re-used up to 8 times.0

Bag in mug; water; wait; splash of semi-skimmed; wait; bag out (NO squeezing); stir; enjoy
Just compared mug on the desk in front of me with the colour chart - exactly matches C2
