Bit of an argument going on as to whether when pouring a cup of tea which should be poured first, the tea or the milk. Prefer tea first because the desired colour of the tea is easy to achieve!

Should be out of a t pot warmed of corse into a cup with milk in already.
But convenience says t bag in mug then milk to colour.
There are some mutterings that if you put milk in then t bag the tea won't come out of the bag as the milk blocks the bag pores ;)

I agree with Helen, t pot milk first, Teabag milk 2nd, and true if you put milk in with teabag in, goes a strange colour :?

Since tea is the second most disgusting substance on the planet (behinds eggs...) I'd pour it on the floor ;)

according to Guy Martin (The Boat That Guy Built) the milk should go in first . . .

this isn't the clip I was looking for, but it's lovely to watch Guy Martin anyway 8-)
