a brew the size of your head

go on, put the kettle on or I'll smack you

but seriously, the muppets in here drink tea from polystyrene cups, I saw one of them put the milk in the cup and then he put a teabag in the milk. I nearly exploded on the spot

Not me.
I have two stipulations when it comes to tea:

Very strong with a dash of milk. Kind of like builder's tea.
No sugar.

Other than those, I couldn't give a fuck if you put the teabag in first or last or whatever. Life's too short to worry about things like that.

Also, put your own fucking kettle on.
( Blue Star was working part time at the 5 and Dime, Wed 24 Jun 2009, 10:40, archived)

I have to confess:
I have while making an English tea put the teabag in first, then the milk on top. It tastes just the same....

May I ask then
Does it curdle the milk or something horrible? Or is it just 'not the done thing'?

also, the higher the temperature the better it works.
So if you put milk in first, you bring the temperature down and fuck it all up.

I don't drink cheap shitty english teas though.

Not really.
Although that's the case sometimes (and yes, it's how language evolves), there are still occasions where words are simply used incorrectly.


In the face of online evidence, I stand corrected. But I'm pretty sure they're recent definitions.
( Master Of Turnips. Only gays and morons believe in ghosts., Wed 24 Jun 2009, 10:54, archived)

I fully agree upon this

( whenanimalsattackhumans clad in global hypercolour, Wed 24 Jun 2009, 11:09, archived)

tea is crafted to have the flavour released when introduced to boiling water
if you put the teabag in the milk, then you have a soggy mush and the tea leaves are effectively saturated with milk so the teaness is trapped inside.
now if you make the tea in a pot, you may or may not put the milk into the cup before you pour the tea. It's debatable wether or not you should do that or pour and then put the milk in. That's an argument that may never be settled

but if you put the teabag in the milk then you should be banished to the land of ice-tea for all eternity
( VampireMonkeyOnSpeed a super sexy sexual sex terrorist sex, Wed 24 Jun 2009, 10:51, archived)

Shame on me
But I wouldn't actually mind that punishment; I like iced tea. Sometimes I make my own if I'm very, very lonely.

Stupid fat bitch puts the teabag in, then the milk
Then stirs it around a bit, takes out the teabag and puts in the sugar.

It makes me want to slap her more than usual. The milk thing doesn't bother me *that* much, using a wet spoon in the sugar does.
