it is a scientific fact that if you don't leave it to brew for at least 5 minutes with two teabags and serve with at least 3 spoonfuls of sugar then you must be gay.
Milk first! Putting the milk in first allows a precise measurement of the quantity, plus I swear it tastes better.
And then tea bag, then water, then sugar. Stir and release tea bag.
If you want a precise measurement it doesn't matter whether you do it before or after, since you would have to measure it before adding it. Anyway, I can put the correct amount in at any time

Yes but I always fill it up to the same position on my mug. When you're adding it after the water has been added, you're going by colour more than anything, seems less precise to me. Especially because different tea bags brew at different rates

Given that tea bags go at different rates, colour is the only reliable way to measure strength.

That's only if you remove the tea bag before adding the milk. If you add the milk straight after pouring the water and remove the tea bag a minute after the milk is added, the end result could vary.

tbh I didn't even know that was a thing until reading this thread.

Nor did I, I assumed if one were to be perverse enough to add milk and decided to do it before adding the tea (whether they use leaves or are perverse enough to use bags is largely irrelevant, for once) it would also be before the water, given that the water would mix the milk better. I would also assume it would be milk->tea->water, again, for better mixing, this time of the tea.
Ideally I try to aim for the first option, but more often than not my laziness only allows for the 2nd option. Can't be waiting around for it to brew...
This is like those weird people that put the squash into the glass before the water, or those chefs that put the sauce on the plate then the food on top. Its a sign of a deviant and perverted mind.

EVERYONE puts squash in first then water.
If you made a poll thread in food and drink and got 100 replies form TSR users i'd guarantee a 90%+ Squash first reply.
