how do you make a cup of tea? Teabag, milk, water or Teabag, water, milk or do you have a better combination?

Answer 1

Well I personally think it should be teabag, milk, then some sugar, then add hot water. Of course if your posh you might even use tea from a teapot! Also i find if you make it alittle Irish it always makes it better. Also if your not into sugar, you could add a dash of lemon and lime, and if your really kinky, why not do what me and my husband do, wait till the tea is cold and them smear it onto our naked bodies and lick it off...so much better than out of a tea cup! Enjoy

Answer 2

I put a teabag in the cup then pour the water on. I leave freshly boiled water a minute or so to cool because boiling will scorch the tea and ruin the flavour slightly. I then allow the tea to brew for a moment or two before straining the teabag. Any longer and it'll stew and you get those weird filmy bits on the surface of the drink.

Add sugar before milk if you want it because it disolves better in the warmer temperature.

Now add milk to your liking, stirring as you pour.

It's important not to add milk before you brew the tea because it stops some of the flavour infusing from the teabag into the water. Milk is more dense and therefore isn't as effective at taking the flavour from the teabag.

Same goes for the sugar because it makes the water more dense. It's important to leave the water to take on as much as the tea flavour as possible before adding anything to it.

Perfect!

Answer 3

Tea leaves in the cup then hot water from a samovar but not boiling ! no sugar or milk then let the leaves settle before drinking the brew, try leaf tea you will not want to use a teabag again cos the flavour is so much better

Answer 4

It depend on the type of tea you making.Some type of tea like for example Green Tea does not require to put any milk or anything except just pour hot water over the teabags or tea leaves. If it those english kind of tea, then how u make shld be according to ur preference. For me i use hot water to make the tea and then i add milk and a bit of sugar to it.

Answer 5

Teabag & sugar in a mug, add boiling water, stir then stand for a couple of minutes, remove teabag, add milk to taste!

Answer 6

teabag, water, then milk to make it as strong as you want. Otherwise there might be too much milk and its too late - then you have to use another teabag, then tip more water away and put more in and it all becomes a bit of a mess.

Answer 7

When I drink hot tea, I usually microwave the water since I'm too impatient to sit there and wait for the water to get hot over the stove, and I put my teabag in there and wait for it to soak up and whatnot. Then I put a little milk in there, and some sugar, and that's my cup of tea.

Answer 8

In order not to burn the milk, you should always put it in first and add the boiling water which gradually heats up the milk because of the larger volume of cool milk compared to the water.

It doesn't usually taste best by adding the tea-bag to the milk so I suggest using a pot with boiling water and the tea-bag.

Once that is done you can pour the milk into your mug, then add the water which is already flavoured.

Sugar always comes last when it is at its hottest so it dissolves best throughout.

Enjoy your cuppa!

My partner makes the best cuppa tea ever!! She puts in the teabag & sugar,then adds the water.Don't add milk yet,leave it to stew for about 5 mins,but come back to it halfway to give it a stir,after stewing then add milk.
