Good cup of tea?

[D Mc]

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but I was having trouble with the search feature. I figure there is nobody better on the planet than you guys to answer this question.

 

"What makes a good cup of tea?"

 

I need specifics. I have been drinking a fair amount of tea lately. About every time I click on this forum. And got to wondering, how do YOU guys make tea? Am I doing this right? Tea bag and hot water? I'm only partly joking. I really do want to know.

...... but not for too long otherwise it goes like stew.

You say "hot water," it must be water "on the boil" and only only a drop of milk.:wave:

Tea made by the client .........99% of them are always appreciated.

 

We all have T with 1 Sugar and Milk when clients are making it.

 

But all three of us prefer it completely different at home...........I think you all know why:proud:

Strong, little milk (green top) and two. Best if it has a reddish hue to it. Milk in last as well. Coffee as above but milk in first.

Earl grey tea, must be made in a teapot first, small amount of milk, NO sugar.

Freshly boiled water, too, not what has sat around in the kettle all day. Imperative to brew (using good quality tea bag or leaves) but not too long, as previously said: you don't want no stew. I like to put the milk in first, it seems to blend better. Fusion is probably the word. Yes, a well fused cup of tea! Best accompanied by some tasty biscuits.

 

I stopped drinking tea when working on site, as it seemed many people do not hold with brewing a cuppa and serve up what looks like dishwater.

Are we talking Rich Tea, Digestives or something altogether more fancy ?
