Tea, sir?
How do you take your tea(or coffee)? It wasn't till last weekend I realised how many different ways there were of making Tea/Coffee, and how much it seems to matter to some people, so I just thought I'd ask. (Yes I know its a pointless and time consuming excercise, but I'm asking anyway).
Mines Yorkshire, milk in first (decent amount) then add tea, then three sweetners, stir.
And do you use a teapot, or do you prefer a 'one cup, one bag' approach.
I'm only really asking because I've got to that stage of procrastination where I'm drinking tea and trying to forget about my Othello coursework due in tomorrow.

Re: Tea, sir?
Tea in a pot,tea into a mug first (none of your gay english milk-then-tea customs) milk...drink.
Nothing fancy.
Has to be really stong too or else whats the point.
No sugar.
If my cup of tea had a personality it'd be a builder.

Re: Tea, sir?
Actually, the gay English custom is tea then milk too (afaik).
My mother does milk then tea because apparently it helps reduce the stain on the cup or something.

Re: Tea, sir?
I always go milk first, then tea, then sugar, and always from a teapot.
I seem to be alone in this trend

Re: Tea, sir?
A proper, strong breakfast-type tea (none of this 'afternoon' 'earl faggot' shite), one sugar, milk.
Though on the coffee front I don't care as long as it's hot and there's lots of it.

Re: Tea, sir?
Tea: one cup, one bag. with a lil milk, no sugar.
Coffee: either cappucino or espresso. and only when I need the caffeine.
And my famous ****tail:
One teabag, two spoonfuls of instant cofee, half a portion of hot chocolate, five teaspoons of sugar. Add boiling water and a splash of milk, and stir. Wonderful.

Re: Tea, sir?
I drink whatever tea my parents buy. Coffee is made with four spoonfuls of coffee, four spoonfuls of sugar and no milk. Best drink in the world ever.
