Sorry, but if you put milk before the hot water, it cools the water in the cup and it won’t brew properly. Tea bag, hot water, brew THEN add milk. That’s how it’s done.

Hi there just looked at your carpentry very nice, cant wait to see the finished product with the trains and sceanery. By the way on makeing a great cup of tea and i say great cos theres nothing better or more thirst quenching than it and should be drunk at least 10 to 15 cups-no mugs a day,(thats if you can). I like to put the hot water in first then only P,G, TIPS (the pyramid ones) let stand for 3min 8sec pull it out then milk-not to much, and thats perfect for me. I havent had any complants from frinds only that its the best cup of tea thay have had so thats got to be good yea. ps suger spoils it and the water in south wales is very good too.

I am still convinced that I am right on the tea making process and that article on the Tetley website was obviously written by the bloody PG Tips monkey!

Not that I want to drag this out any more, but -

Check out how Johnny and Monkey make the tea!

Tetley’s website on the perfect cuppa –
“Also, despite a common misconception which dates back to when we all used tea leaves brewed in pots, milk should be added after the tea bag has brewed, otherwise it will lower the temperature from the optimum level and affect the brewing process.”

The way I like tea to be made is …

by a member of staff!

I’m also a fan of Paul’s method with the beer!

Sorry Chris, have to agree with the good ol’ British ‘bag, water, milk’ affair.

The flavour never seems to come out right when I put the milk in first. Perhaps I’m doing something wrong?

After lots attempts to make a cup of tea the way you do, I have finally cracked it! And i must say it was a bloody good one!

Thanks Chris

I’m a weirdo when it comes to tea. I basically show the hot water and sugar a tea bag, then pour in loads of milk…

Then you have to consider the correct biscuit for the type of tea…
