Shuff264 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Milk? Is that cow's p!ss? Down here in the south we drink a wide variety of herb or fruit infused beverages. We also have indoor toilets. It's a whole different existence. Yea southerners are weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-Ram Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Yea southerners are weird Good job I am not a Southerner by birth then Shuff. I am from your neck of the woods, give or take c40 miles. I moved in my early 30's for the benefit of my career, and the convenience of the indoor convenience. If you are drinking fruit infused beverages you can be on the shitter quite a long time I can tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with some cider, just polished one off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1977 Ram Raider Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Always put milk in first, you can see how strong it goes right before your eyes. Milk in last and black is black don't know how strong or weak you've made it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 In the hot, indulgent days of the colonies, milk always used to go in first. It was there to cool down the boiling water as it hit your fine bone china teacups, which heaven forbid cracked under the sudden rise in temperature.

Wolfie Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Always put milk in first, you can see how strong it goes right before your eyes. Milk in last and black is black don't know how strong or weak you've made it. Assume this is using a teapot?. Otherwise just leave the bag in until you've out the milk in (last) to check the strength. Anyway I thought there was a scientific reason to put milk in last, in that if it's milk first, then it cools down the tea and you don't get the flavour out of the teabag as much. never seen the point of teapots if you're using teabags - unless you're being tight. Teapots for loose tea, yes, but that's just too messy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovis aries Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 You have to watch how much milk you put in , can not abide cold tea, it has to burn your mouth first off or its not right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLACML Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 What type of milk though? While I don't have milk in my tea, we always have goat's milk in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i-Ram Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Ginger nuns' breastmilk only. Not sure about this. No problem with the breast milk of a nun, but the prospect of finding a springy ginger hair (pubic or otherwise) floating on the surface of my beverage would be rather off putting. I went down on a ginger girl once, and for a week afterwards I thought I had a chicken bone stuck in the back off my throat. You young'uns beware.

Rev Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Used to think it didn't matter, as long as they all were in the cup at some point. Then last Saturday messed around with the cup, swopped cows milk for goats milk, honey for sugar, and changed my bag from a dependable Scottish brew, to a dirty Yorkshire teabag. The result was terrible, the bag left the cup far too soon, leaving the tea weak, tried my best to swallow it, but soon the tea followed the bag out the cup. Nevermind, went back to the old formula a few days later, but there was still a bitter aftertaste, lasted 2/3 of the next brew, but came out nice enough in the end!

JoetheRam Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Posh way with good china that can take the heat - milk last. Scumbag way with inferior quality china that's liable to crack due to the sudden increase in temperature - milk first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
