I always put the milk in first
when making it in the cup. That way I know when to take the teabag out as I know what colour I like it. If I put the milk in last, I might have left the teabag in too long or not enough

See, I do it the other way for the same reason
If I put the milk in first, I might have put too much or not enough in. I put the milk in last, while stirring, until the tea reaches the right colour.

This is the correct way to do it. Your way is also fine, as long as you know it's wrong.

but
I make sure the milk to water ratio is pretty much constant every time, therefore the strength of the tea will be constant also.

Or, make it in the pot. With loose tea and use a strainer. Far better because all the bitter tannin stays in the pot.

Oh, and Tetley is fuck-awful and used to make my cups go brown.

Is that a euphemism?
