Title: Making a Cuppa Post by: Quagmire on Monday, July 27, 2015, 16:50:43 Now I know there is no right or wrong way, but the milk, do you put it in first or last?
I've always gone milk, tea bag and then the water, but I have been told numerous times the milk should always go in last.

I've always gone milk, tea bag and then the water, but I have been told numerous times the milk should always go in last. You are correct. I leave the tea bag in, so it continues to brew. If you use a teapot, then milk in first is a must. The WI put milk in first, they make more cups of tea than anyone, and I'm not arguing with them. Title: Re: Making a Cuppa Post by: Reg Smeeton on Monday, July 27, 2015, 17:38:10 Sticking a tea bag in water is not making a cup of tea....sort of thing the French might do, along with producing mediocre Div 3 players, and showing ingratitude for their liberation from Fascism, by flobbing on Chris Froome. Just wrong.
Title: Re: Making a Cuppa Post by: The Grim Reaper on Monday, July 27, 2015, 17:44:23 Can't answer for tea as its vile stuff! However when making coffee you should put milk in first as this protects the coffee from near boiling water.

Tea in a pot - Milk in first Tea in a cup with a bag - Milk in after it has brewed in the cup Title: Re: Making a Cuppa Post by: SuperBosnian on Monday, July 27, 2015, 18:00:51 I don't have milk or sugar, same with coffee.
Title: Re: Making a Cuppa Post by: Bob's Orange on Monday, July 27, 2015, 18:18:58 Black tea, black coffee. Pas de faff.
Title: Re: Making a Cuppa Post by: DarloSTFC84 on Monday, July 27, 2015, 18:50:19 I don't drink either.. well, coffee very infrequently, but tea never as it makes me feel ill..
However, we do have some of these fancy herbal and fruit tea's in our cupboard for when my mother comes to visit.. The first time I made her one, I was totally unaware that milk should'nt go in with them.. :-[ Title: Re: Making a Cuppa Post by: Lash_sumthin on Monday, July 27, 2015, 18:57:52 http://youtu.be/FtK_vfp8po8

Title: Re: Making a Cuppa Post by: Flashheart on Monday, July 27, 2015, 19:21:35 I've gotten used to using coffee-mate, it's actually not bad. *ducks for cover*
Title: Re: Making a Cuppa Post by: Skinny Pete on Monday, July 27, 2015, 19:23:49 No milk. No sugar. Yorkshire Tea.
None of this namby-pamby flavoured crap. Title: Re: Making a Cuppa Post by: herthab on Monday, July 27, 2015, 19:24:47 Coffee - Milk in first This is correct. Tea is a dried leaf which requires boiling water to release its full flavour; putting milk in first will impair the flavour. Coffee is a bean which can be scalded with boiling water. To avoid this you should either make it with hot, but not boiling water, or put milk in first.Tea in a pot - Milk in first Tea in a cup with a bag - Milk in after it has brewed in the cup (Just for the record, all tea is rank, vile shit and anyone putting milk in coffee is a tosser). Title: Re: Making a Cuppa Post by: singingiiiffy on Monday, July 27, 2015, 21:57:47 On Topic, Off Topic: did we not enter a side for the Milk Cup this year? Seen a match report on the bbc football and remembered last time there being quite a few articles in the paper
Title: Making a Cuppa Post by: Batch on Tuesday, July 28, 2015, 07:22:23 I saw a report yesterday on fb saying were lost our early match . didn't actually read it/check date mind. could have been from 2014..
oh wait, was the point you've seen only one match report from this year. total has a small factual article http://totalswindonsport.com/2015/07/stfc-youth-town-defeat-by-county-armagh-at-milk-cup/ Title: Re: Making a Cuppa Post by: singingiiiffy on Tuesday, July 28, 2015, 11:14:19 Thanks, just wondered if we were in it this year. As I said last year there were match reports etc within the adver and this year I havent seen an article.

You’re bound to have your own theory, and if tea is brewed in a pot, there is no definitive right or wrong answer. If you’re making tea in a cup though, it’s never milk first - it reduces the water temperature so it doesn’t brew properly. http://www.yorkshiretea.co.uk/about-tea/yorkshire-tea-how-to-make-a-proper-brew.php Title: Re: Making a Cuppa Post by: Berniman on Wednesday, July 29, 2015, 08:27:22 Glad we cleared that up.
I also agree that Yorkshire tea is the way.. Title: Re: Making a Cuppa Post by: Batch on Wednesday, July 29, 2015, 08:30:48 aaah Yorkshire, with your vast plantations and centuries of your no nonsense blending we salute your tea making prowess.

Looks like our teenaged lads took a spanking in the Milk Cup. We have done well in that competition in the past. A sign that standards are improving in World football beyond those in the UK? |
