# Dear MonkeySpoon,
That is a very nice picture but I have a problem. I was making a cup of tea earlier and I put a drop of milk in it. Upon taking a sip just a few seconds ago I realised that I put too much milk in my tea and my tea now tastes too milky. What should I do? I hope you can help.

Yours sincerly,

# Leave it to go cold
the milk will form a skin at the top. Peel off the skin, pop the cup in the microwave & warm it back up again, et voila! Milkless tea.

# Dear Ptolemy,
I thank you for you prompt reply, I you suggestion is excellent but I do not own a microwave. If I did own one I would give your idea a try.

Yours sincerly,

# pour in more water?
Or drink a man's drink. Like Lambrini.

# Dear mousing,
I thank you for your reply, I would like to try your suggestion but I am afraid that the water may make my tea too watery, I like my tea nice and strong.

Yours sincerly,

The Duke of Prunes.

# Another teabag!
Using skill, another teabag and field tactics you can truly conquer that damn renegade milk! Failing that you can always go mental and break stuff.
EDIT: I know! Titration is always the answer!

# Dear That Nikon Fella,
I am pleased that you reponded so quickly. Your solution is a good one but should I use a bigger cup and add a small amout of extra water? If I put the tea bag in my currebt cup I think that just might make a cup of extemely strong but milky tea.

Yours sincerly,

The Duke of Prunes

# Dear Duke Of Prunes,
I am glad to be of some service. I would suggest using a little hot water to diffuse extra tea into your overly milky cup. Or you could also brew some in a tea pot and pour a little amount of black tea into the milky tea in small increments.

Yours sincerely,

That Nikon Fella

# Dear that Nikon Fella,
I am pleased that you repsponded so quickly to my letter but I am sorry to say that I decided upon a solution suggested by Shambla. However, I shall bear in mind your solution for any similar tea disasters which may occur in the future.

Many thanks,

Thank you for your prompt reponse. I do like your suggestion but I'm afraid that I like cheese to much to become lactose intolerant.

# Dear Mr. Prunes

After some serious consideration, I feel I must add my two peneth to this discussion.

I commend you and your letter writing efforts and wonder if we could collect all these signatures and send them off to our local MP. Perchance we could pass the much sought after 'two legged kittens' bill with such a weighty petition.

Yours besmeechingly,
