"tea bag and sugar. Water then stir. Take out tea bag. Add milk and stir." This, but Yorkshire tea only of course. | |||
"Well it tastes the same whatever way you do it. But usually tea bag water then milk x " Na na na.. depending on how the ingredients are added and how long they are left for in water.. is optimal to a right cup of tea | |||

The tea needs to brew in boiling water and milk just reduces that temperature.
Tea bag in cup or pot, pour over boiling water and let it brew.
Then milk. Job done

"Do you put the tea bag in first or water first then the tea bag and then sugar and then milk? "??? What is this tea bag about which you speak ? tis simple one places the loose tea into the mesh tea infuser then pour the filtered freshly just off boiling water into pre warmed mug , add infuser and leave for 187 seconds not sure what either milk or sugar have to do with the ritual but hey ho | |||

"Get someone else to do it for me. They never get it upto your liking lol" As long as it's warm n wet, I'm happy. | |||
"Well it tastes the same whatever way you do it. But usually tea bag water then milk x " No no no no it don't. Putting milk in with the bag first coats the leaves with fat and also cools the water you pour in later thus hindring the brewing process  | |||
"Teabag, water , sugar, milk in that order . Anyone who puts milk in first needs locking up in a mental asylum "Actually you're wrong, and for a few reasons. If you pour milk into boiling water, the milk effectively burns instantly. But if you pour boiling water the milk the fat in the milk emulsifies in a different way when the tea is poured, which does change the flavour of the tea, giving it a more even, creamier flavour. The Fortnum & Masons website has a good section on this. Of course, if you're a REAL tea drinker you take it without milk. | |||

Best lock me up then xx"Putting the milk in first is a nod to the past when they would use the best China. Boiling water would possibly crack the cup so the milk went in first to help prevent this from happening. | |||

as for scorching milk , boiling water would not do that anyway however boiling water DOES affect coffee and will give it a more bitter taste

"Teabag, water , sugar, milk in that order . Anyone who puts milk in first needs locking up in a mental asylum
Best lock me up then xx"depends If you are adding hot water and the bag to the milk you indeed need locking up as the milk would cool the water , tea needs very hot water to extract the flavour hence the saying one cannot make a good cup of tea at Everest base camp as water boils at too low temperature ! however if you make your tea In a pot first with hot water then pour onto the milk then you don't need locking up , just avoiding for being pretentious !  | |||

"Do you put the tea bag in first or water first then the tea bag and then sugar and then milk? teabag, water, take out teabag then milk and sugar"The fatal flaw in this is you haven't mentioned time period between pouring in water and taking out teabag . These are important details that need to be addressed | |||
