Guest Cannabis Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 This is without doubt the most British topic you'll ever find on an internet forum. I've seen the debate thrown around social media a million times so it's time to settle things once and for all in here - how should the perfect brew look to you? Decide from the options down below; Personally, the more milky the better. Top right is a winner for me with the bottom left being a total abomination to society.

Administrator Stan 18,104 Posted April 29, 2017 Administrator Share Posted April 29, 2017 the other debate is how you make it. for me, only ONE way. Teabag in the cup. Hot water in. Let it brew for a bit. Teabag out. Bit of milk in. Sugar (optional obvs) in. Stir. Drink. Done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil-Dick Willie 3,231 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 No milk. No sugar, as strong as you like. Bottom left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hehe, it's extremely weird for me too, although I enjoy Masala chai every once in a while... I don't like tea that much anyway. Now you should open a thread "How should English breakfast look", I've seen a lot of heated arguments over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirBalon 2,692 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Tea with a dash of milk, never any sugar! But no action of sacrilege where you add the milk before you've taken out the teabag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil-Dick Willie 3,231 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 The only way to make your tea Kettle on While the water is heating, take an exact teaspoon of your pretentious chinese gunpowder green tea, and put it in a tea strainer. Take the water off the boil before it hits 90 degrees. Add water. Stir and brew til colour is perfect. Remove strainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I drink Earl Grey without anything in it. If it's that usual black tea, sometimes people ad a little sugar. But never milk! I like Green Tea as well.

Administrator Stan 18,104 Posted April 29, 2017 Administrator Share Posted April 29, 2017 I'd be interested to know if any other countries/areas of the world have tea predominantly without milk!
