I love this, i travel to the States several times a year with work and in 15 years and maybe 50 trips i have yet to get a good cup of tea. Firstly if you are using a tea bag boil the kettle and pour BOILING water (dont let it stand in the kettle) onto the teabag in the cup, spoon in and a quick wizz round then walk away and leave it for a couple of minutes. Then return , remove the teabag and add milk and sugar if required.
Yes you can go on about loose tea and tea pots but we live in a modern word and the teabag makes life so easy...
hope this helps and you get it right

real tea should be made in the pot and you should put the milk in the cup first.
I just make in in the cup who want the hassle and it tasted the same to me  |

Yes! Exactly! May I add that it should be made by someone else and delivered to me in bed. |

I make the perfect cup of tea, put milk in the cup, when the kettle boils then add the teabag and water at the same time. Leave for a minute or so and stir and remove bag.
All that and i only drink coffee. |

No No No... You can't put the milk in before the hot water as the fat from the milk clogs the bag and the tea just wont be the same. |

My Grandad with Yorkshire Teabags  "
These are the only good tea bags. Once you've tried them all others taste like tea made by an American (no offence OP)  |

Teabag and sugar in pint mug
Pour in boiling water
Squeeze air out of bag and stir
Remove spoon so tea still spins in mug and lets flavour flood out. 40 seconds about best to leave.
Re squeeze bag and remove
Add a splash of cow juice
Sit back and enjoy with a dark chocolate digestive |

My daughter has the same job as you - it will most likely be the dementia, so please don't worry

Putting milk in the cup means that the bag won't fuse because of the temperature drop. It needs to be boiling. I buy Yorkshire tea in 1100 catering bags & I never run out of tea bags.
I get wound up when I see those "Coffee nation" drinks machines at service stations. 5 types of coffee, hot chocolate & no bloody tea.  Once I saw what looked like a manager at one of these service stations. I asked him about this & he said that "There was no demand for tea" I told him "Of course there's no demand because you've not given the option you numpty! We didn't build the British empire drinking coffee It was TEA!.... & er Gin!" |

I have an hypothesis that a perfect cup of tea is one that is brought to the bedside by that gorgeous sexy women youve just fucked in the hope that it the knowledge that it gives you the energy to go again in minutes. Biscuits are optional, cake is a bonus. |

"Putting milk in the cup means that the bag won't fuse because of the temperature drop."
Seriously?
Now I know, cos I always wondered why the best cups of tea were made by pouring literally BOILING hot water on the Tea bag.
Sometimes I make a good one sometimes a bad one.
The REALLY good cuppas are typically a fluke. For me at least. |

The "scientific" way of doing a brew:
Use a porcelain cup – no cheap/plastic cups
Use freshly-drawn water for the kettle
Once water is boiled, wait five second before pouring into cup or warmed teapot
Brewing time between three to five minutes for optimum balance of flavour and strength
Add five per cent of semi-skimmed milk to the cup before adding tea
Wait for six minutes for the temperature to drop to 60C before drinking |

If making a pot, put a pinch of sugar in....it works wonders |

...I used to go through a stage where I'd have two tea bags in a cup because it was never strong enough for me (regardless of brand!). - People get a little concerned though when you start sucking the tea bags themselves.
So... As strong as humanly possible for me! Splash of milk, no sugar.

I was just in the shower, and I cupped my hands together and pissed in them. I dropped the piss on the shower floor, and it went down the drain. But you know what makes me think? What if I had drank that handful of piss? |
