Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum |
There's no debate:
Teapot tea - milk first (stops your best bone china from cracking)
Builders tea in a mug - milk last (as putting it in first lowers water temp and your tea can't steep properly) |

Actually completely incorrect, it used to be milk first to stop inferior cups from breaking and then it was last to show just how high quality your china was,
There used to be a saying 'a milk first kind of person' to donate lower classes who wouldnt be able to afford decent china. |

I'm very aware, because of my upbringing, that without doubt it's a dash of milk in first followed by freshly brewed tea, from leaves not bags in a tea pot with another smaller tea pot full of hot water to add in case the tea stews.
Then again I rebel and add milk last and drink coffee anyway 
Is that the sound of my ancestors turning in their graves??!!  |
