PG Tips is the tea for me, could be because I can be a bit of a cheeky monkey.
I put bag in the mug add hot water, 2 sugars and a bit of milk. Then I squeeze the bag on the side of the cup until tea is a nice light brown colour. Beautiful.

Well i've got 'Tesco's Finest' Earl Grey at the moment, & if i'm making it the milk goes in first. I don't think it makes a blind bit of difference in the long run, but that's how i make it by habit.
But of course if you're really fussy, you can feel free to make your own.

If you're going to put the milk in first, Wayne, then I jolly well will make my own cup of tea, thanks!
Then I squeeze the bag on the side of the cup until tea is a nice light brown colour.Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

I forgot to add to my instructions: Teabag Burst is a critical situation, and can't be recovered from.

Viv has this thing about only using Tetley teabags, and even though I can get them PG from the staff shop at work for half the price they charge in the shops, she won't buy them as she has a strange idea about the way they treat their tea pickers.
I find Tetley as weak as gnats**** and don't like it very much. I prefer a stronger cup like Yorkshire tea, however, ASDA do a nice breakfast tea which I'll make for myself and give Viv her favourite Tetley.
Her penchant for those teabags makes me drink more coffee, so let's repair to that thread shall we.

We use Fair trade tea bags or Twinings Earl Grey.
Mug + Tea bag + Hot Water - tea bag + Milk = Tea.
I add milk last so as to get the tea the right colour, if it is weak or strong then I can add as little or as much milk as I like. I tend to over milk tea if I put it in first.

I have to be careful with tea, for some reason a couple of brands give me awful stomach ache. Tetley does, but I am fine with PG Tips (yum). I don't have an annoying knitted monkey around to drink it with though.

Don't know how I missed this thread!
I'm a milk two sugars guy. I do have a very time-consuming, complicated method to make the perfect cup (utilising a pot), but these days I just use teabags. I discovered that Tescos 'Everyday Value' bags are excellent, and as tasty as any other brand. Tescos seem to have noticed this too, as they launched them as 80 for 27p, but have recently changed this to 40 for 20p, inflation of 50%!!!
Oh, and it's milk and sugar AFTER, not before. Tea is the drink, milk and sugar are things you add to it.“If my sons did not want wars, there would be none.” - Gutle Schnaper Rothschild

My tastes have changed over the years. I was always a milk and two sugars person, not too strong but I found as I got older that the taste was getting too sweet and I started cutting back on the sugar.
Today, I'm a coffee drinker as the taste of tea became just too sweet even with a quarter of a spoon of sugar. Yet, I don't like tea without it. So, I've given up on tea altogether and stick to just coffee.I’m being extremely clever up here and there’s no one to stand around looking impressed! What’s the point in having you all?
