If you're making it with a teapot: 1. Take milk out of fridge 10 minutes prior to boiling the kettle to allow it to reach room temperature. 2. Boil the kettle. 3. Slosh boiled water around in the teapot for a while to warm and clean it. 4. Place two teabags in the teapot (possibly more depending on its size). 5. Pour the boiled water into the teapot. 6. Pour a dash of milk into mug. 7. Let tea brew for 4 minutes. 8. (Optional) Squish teabags against the walls of the teapot as it brews. 9. Pour brewed tea into the mug. 10. (Optional) Add sugar. 11.

This is an art, people.
How long does it take you to make tea, jeez
I'm drinking ~5 or 6 mugs a day, I don't have time to expend on that sort of commitment
1) put tea bag + sugar into mug 2) boil water with a kettle 3) add hot water to mug 4) pour a dash of milk into mug (the milk is cold, straight from the fridge)

If you include the milk warming, 15 minutes.
Without, 5 minutes. I'm very efficient now.
EDIT: Forgot about the boiling part - more like 6 minutes (I have a fast kettle). I only drink tea once or twice a day so I have no problem with doing it correctly.
PG tips tea bags. Water Sugar A pot with a handle Spices Milk The tea sieve thing, whatever it's called.
1) Put water, sugar, spices and tea bags in the pot. 2)Let it boil 3)Add milk 4)Let it boil again 5) Use your sieve tea thing to get rid of the spices and teabag from your tea.
No sugar = a good thing, and no milk? I'm used to this when I run out of milk.
But why the **** would you leave the teabag in the mug? That's just plain weird.
This way the tea tastes stronger. I usually take it out towards the end, but I like my tea to be as strong as possible (hence no milk and not taking out the bag until absolutely necessary). I guess I love the taste of actual tea too much...
hot milk?? really, but then wouldn't it be way to hot to drink and you'd have to leave it to cool down anyway??
I like taking my time drinking my tea so I can properly relax and savour it. I just like that hot milk means it won't get cold as quickly, plus I find it makes the tea a little more creamier than cold milk.
I can still sip the tea as soon as I make it, maybe I've just become immune to how hot I can take it lol.
