Since this video went viral, it has sparked debate on what is the ideal way of making the perfect cuppa.
For me, hot water on the tea bag of tea leaves, leave to mature, add milk for a strong cup of tea.
Over to you Tetley tea folk............

That's an abortion.

This has been done to death but there is only one correct method. Boiling water on tea bag. Leave for subjective amount of time depending on preference, then add milk and or sugar. End of.

Clearly they’ve done everything arse about face to get a reaction.

Get an empty cup, add just the teabag, add boiling water and let the teabag stew, give the teabag a squeeze, add milk to taste (and sugar if that's your cup of tea), throw it down the sink, make a coffee.

[Is it PotG?]

Drink coffee.

It was totally ruined when sugar went in the mug.

 

[Mr Bridger]

I’m trying to bin the sugar, so little squirt of honey.

The secret to a perfect cup of tea is...PUT THE MILK IN BEFORE THE HOT WATER.

(Tea bag will need straining before it's removed - apply pressure to the tea bag with back of spoon)

Trust me.

I did boiling water + teabag followed by milk, but if you're in certain regions that order forms a scummy layer on the top. I think it's hard water, but we don't get it in Sussex.

 

[beorhthelm]

that isnt a cuppa tea, its slightly beige milk with a hint of tea.

Trust me.

That fat in the milk prevents the tea from infusing in the boiling water properly.

It infuses fine if you strain the bag with the back of the spoon. The tea has a more creamy texture, it's less watery.

It also reduces the temperature that the tea leaves are exposed to, which effects the taste (for the better IMO).

& It prevents a skin forming on the top.

TRUST ME.

At that rate he could use the tea bag ten times.
