Here is the scenario. It's 7am. You get up early for work, and you need a cuppa. You have a tea pot brewing tea. Fresh milk has arrived on the doorstep. You want a cup of tea. Should you
a) Put the cold milk in first or
b) Put the tea in first and then the milk
Which one wil turn out hotter so you are not drinking luke warm tea?
Or,
Does it not matter?
Get your thinking caps people, because i reckon that u need to put the milk in first:) |

i prefer to put the milk in after the tea, cos that way, its easier to judge how milky it will be.
however, when i have coffee, i put the milk in with the coffee first, then put the water in after :cool: thats if i make my own these days :toothless |

| tea bag, boiling water, stir to get all the stuff out the tea bag, take tea bag out, add milk, then add sugar. = the best tea ever! |

personally i say put it in last.
but if heat's the big issue, then why note heat the cup itself? pute some warm water into it before putting the tea in??
milk coffee = the only way to go :) |

| i'm a tea bag last lady, however i believe it was the tradition back in victorian times to put the milk in first, this was because the tea was brewed in a pot and there was no chance of tea bags or leaves being mixed in the cup |
