I put the tea bag in the mug while the water is boiling, once boiled and still boiling pour into the mug and leave for few mins to brew then squeeze the tea bag against the side then add a little bit of milk. I only put a tiny amount of milk in it has to be strong probably what is considered as builders tea, I can't stand milky tea

Teabag in mug
Add water
Stir continuously
Add milk - Until the right shade of brown
Keep stirring
Leave tea bag in
Drink when appropriately warm
Enjoy :h:
I fill the cup with milk then put it in the microwave for 2 minutes then add 2 sugars and 2 teabags. Its like a latte for tea basically :lol:

Teabag, water then milk if in mug.

Teabag then water in pot.... but milk first in mug if in teapot.

Those are, I believe, the rules.

Milk then water.

Sometimes a 1/4 teaspoon of sugar if I'm feeling naughty. :teehee:


Goddamn I NEVER tried tea with MILK :zomg:... I always drink it with water only. I'm so weird:clap2:
i boil the water, put the bag in my mug, pour the water over my mug and plop the bag around for a bit and drink...
I make Chai tea
Doesn't take too long to make! 10/15 mins but trust me it's worth it!
Serves 3 people
Fill 1 and 3/4 mugs of water in a deep pan. Set gas/electric to medium to high
Add grated ginger
Add tea powder- 3 spoon ( Yorkshire tea is really nice!)
And let it boil, until it becomes bubly and the ginger layer starts to rise
Add a cup of milk
Let it rise up to top, then immediately turn down the gas to low, until it settles down again and then turn gas to med to high again, to let it boil again.
Repeat this 5 times
After 3rd time add a small teaspoon of tea masala, but even without it tastes really nice
Sieve the chai into cups
Enjoy:biggrin:
