We have a difference on opinion on the best way to make a cup of tea. Obviously the best way is to boil a kettle, pour some of the boiling water into a tea-pot and swill and empty, then add tea-bags to the tea-pot to taste (usually one bag per cup plus one for the pot), then you pour in the water from the kettle which should have cooled a few degrees, leave to brew to taste, put milk into the cup and pour in the tea, add sugar to taste.
However, if you do not have a tea-pot but need to make a brew in a mug/cup what do you think is the best way, is milk in first then tea bag then water, or tea-bag then water then milk etc?

According to the Women Institute the milk should always be put in first to avoid boiling water from 'burning' the tea and spoiling the flavour. Personally I dont care cos I find tea to be the foulest drink on this planet - But coffee well thats different!
I love tea, with lots of sugar and lemon but no milk..
I really don't care much for how it's made as long as the tea bag doesn't spend too much time in the cup, cos' it tends to get a sorrow taste..
