AndyinLiverpool Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Nope. Absolutely not. 'Superior flavour' is a matter of opinion, for a start. There is no way I will ever put milk into my teapot. And that's not a euphemism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anon Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 We made a terrible mistake by banning capital punishment in this nation. Also, Leeds University.... is anyone really surprised that this is the type of "science" being pushed by those charlatans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Squeeze the tea bag to get all the tannins out, slowly infuse your milk over the back of a spoon into the brew, slowly stir. Place tea spoon on back of work mates hand ?and retire quickly to the van! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamLad1884 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Get the most flavourful tea, use tea leaves. Is that considered the best or proper way? No chance. Milk after water anyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1of4 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Put large leaf tea, none of that chopped up muck, into a pan of fresh water. Bring to a boil and simmer over a low heat for five minutes, longer if you want a stronger brew, remove from the heat. Allow to stand for a further ten minutes, before removing the leaves and pouring into a cup and enjoying a proper cup of tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucker1884 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Taste buds... and habits change. I used to go for builders tea... extra strong, 3 sugars, and just a smidgen of semi-skimmed. But over the years, I've reduced the sugar until it was no more. Then dismissed the milk. It then started to taste "stewed", so it got weaker and weaker, until as now, I quickly dip the bag in the already poured water. As weak as weak can get. Even pouring the water on the bag then immediately removing it tastes too strong now! Having said all that, I've just realised I haven't had a cup of tea for about 2 months... preferring coffee at the moment... and lots of it! Strong and black... like my men! ?
