A lovely cup of tea

[stevewool]

Nothing better in my eyes then a nice cup of tea, but trying to get someone to make it your way is hard.
The tea they make is made there way which maybe not to your liking.
So here is the correct way, but for who.

My Nan used to make a proper pot of tea in a TEA POT..
Just about every cup came out the same except the last two cups that were stronger,...Hmmmm!!!
The pot had a Tea cozy on it to help keep the last two cups hot.

Milk first?

Milk first?

Good question!!
I think the "milk first" thing was to protect the delicate tea cups... Stick it in a mug and it`s irrelevant IMO!

[stevewool]

I am lazy , teabag and milk then the hot water, stir it, and drink it, and yes forget to take the teabag out sometimes too.

Plus my dad could drink the pot dry even the last few cups that was cold .

Milk first?

So my late first wife maintained. But I've taken it without milk for almost as long as I can remember ... much more refreshing. :biggrin:

I am surprised you can taste it through the 2 1/2 sugars :omg:

[Michael Parnham]

Always use a tea pot, let it mash, brew, whet whatever you want to call it very little milk and half a teaspoon of sugar:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Never had anything out of a microwave, in fact I've no idea how to use one also not safe in my eyes:smile:

Anything less :icon_rolleyes: ... and it's virtually tasteless, in my opinion. :wink:

Family sends me a years supply of Yorkshire tea bags at Xmas.. The UHT milk here spoils it so we have it black with Calamansi juice and 1/2 a spoon of sugar.. Nice IMO!!

[mickcant]

Good teabag barely allowed to infuse for more than a few seconds, served black with no sugar.
That's a cup of tea.:xxgrinning--00xx3:
Mick. :olddude:

[stevewool]

Its amazing how we think a good cup of ta should be served, but i bet if anyone of us went to the others house we would drink it how ever it was made, well i would .
