Milk in before or after teabag

[CharliesAngels81]

Please settle a debate in this household

Milk in before teabag taken out or milk in last?

Whose unreasonable here - I believe milk in before teabag

Milk last. Of course.

Milk first for me. It tastes weird if you add the milk last. Milk after for all the others I live with.

It's because I was fancy in a past life. Milk needed to be first so the boiling water didn't crack the china.

Milk last...... Anything else is just wrong

Milk after is definitely the way in this household! Let the tea brew, remove the bag, add the milk! You wouldn't add the milk to a teapot, so why in a mug?!
Strange subject to ponder on a Friday night!

No, no, no. You are doing it wrong. You want me to tell you why?

Milk always in after. Anything else is just working class.

Why would you even put the milk in first? If you use a teapot, that's ok. But you're not.
The tea needs boiling water to brew. Milk cools the water and stops it brewing properly. So just do things correctly and move on.

Milk goes last.

Obviously you put the milk in after you take the teabag out.

Aww I was gonna say that.

Varies. Sometimes I put milk and teabag and pour on water. Other times I add the milk afterwards.

Milk first always.

Use a teapot , tea tastes much better .

If you put the milk in first the teabag doesn't get hot enough

milk in before t bag it's the only way.

You put milk first in bone china when using tea brewed in a pot - not a teabag!

Depends on whether I'm brewing in a cup or a pot.

In a pot the milk goes in the cup first.

In a mug I add the milk just before I remove the teabag just to be sure the tea is strong enough before taking the teabag out.

After you remove teabag...or better still just make a regular pot of tea then add milk!

No milk. Milk ruins a good cup of tea.

Milk not at all.

Tea is much better just as it comes - no milk, no sugar.

Coffee with or without milk is still coffee. But milk in tea changes the character of the drink completely, and not for the better.

The teabag needs to exude its flavouring from within the bag.

An element of milk is fat.

Fat clogs the teabag "pores" and prevents the flavouring from escaping the bag.

@UndeniablyGenX x-post !

I'm as common as muck and the milk goes in last.

Same. I don't really think about it.
