That's all well and good but you can't beat peppermint tea and a spoonful of honey! For me that's the ONLY cuppa! :u:

Boil the kettle
Put the tea bag in preferably Tetley
When the water has boiled poor in
Stir wait 2/3/4 mins depending how long you have
Don't squeeze you just want to take out press against the cup but never ever squeezed it then you'll be left with a bitter nasty cup of tea
Then pour some milk in
And if you want add some sugar
You add sugar last !
If you use a teabag, youre doing it wrong, so the 'milk in first or not' debate is fallacious at best

The proper way:

Loose Tea in a straining teapot, steeped for 5 minutes, then into a cup with a dash of milk.
boil the kettle
throw the ****ing teabag away
tea spoon of coffee granules
dash of milk (depending on mood)
hint of sugar
enjoy

or use a nescafe sachet depending on laziness levels
Don't drink tea or any other drinks that contain caffeine.

Hot water
Wait for it to cool to drinking temp
Put the tea bag in (don't put it in any sooner or the leaves will burn and it'll taste bitter)
Brew for 5-10 mins
Remove teabag
Enjoy

Milk and sugar make tea taste like piss. If you add milk or sugar you are objectively wrong
Cup, placed upside down
Tea bag on top
Ice cold water poured on the tea bag
Grab a knife
Grab some butter
Lather that son of a bish
Grab hammer
Smash it to pieces

Enjoy your cuppa.
****... heat the mug or pot first. Tea must meet boiling water, not tepid!
i dont remove the tea bag until i drunk the tea. its habit stemmed from being a lazy **** i.e. too lazy to wash up a spoon and dig it out. when done drinking can hold the mug upside down so bag can fall into bin
