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.

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.

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.

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.

Coffee - 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

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..

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. (Just for the record, all tea is rank, vile shit and anyone putting milk in coffee is a tosser).
