How do you make the perfect cup of tea?
-
So this has been a long standing discussion amongst many of our great peers, especially those of us who call ourselves British, it is my belief that there is only one way, the right way to make the perfect cuppa (demonstrated below). So my question today is; How do you make your 'perfect cup of tea'? (pseudo code is allowed within your example). 1. Add sugar (3 for me) and tea bag. 2. Pour bowling water into cup, give it a thorough stir and then let it brew for 60 seconds. 3. Squeeze tea bag with spoon to insure as much flavour is kept and remove tea bag from cup. 4. Give it a stir and add the milk so it blends so your tea blends nicely. 5. Give it one last thorough stir, you'll see tiny bubbles form in the middle, it means it done. 6. Congratulate self, pat on the back and enjoy your perfect cup of tea.

firstly no milk (personnel preference but I hate tea with milk) secondly no sugar until after it has finished brewing thirdly minimum 2 minutes brew time (needs that to release the statins) but the main point is one you mention, the water HAS to be boiling else there is no point to the other steps

I believe the method of boiling water first, milk second. In opposition to the milk then boiling water comes from the "Upstairs/Downstairs" era (19th Century) when those that could afford it had bone china cups that could take the heat of boiling water first, those 'Downstairs' had pottery cups/mugs that would be damaged with the temperature meaning milk in first. Also there is a difference in the chemistry milk in first forms a colloid, milk second a mixture (not a chemist so unsure, failed A-Level) Pat on the back for being 'Upstairs' slight cuff round the ear for not using a tea pot :)

If you put sugar in with the tea bag the tea bag absorbs much of the sugar from the finished drink. Stir it in after removing the tea bag and you may not need such a ridiculous amount. Also 60 seconds is nowhere near enough time, the tea bag should sit in there heading towards 5 minutes. And just the slightest dash of milk.

I like to claim its all due to my surname, "Shugar" or if your the wife its because I am just too sweet. If your being realistic I've just got a sweet tooth. Though in the office they do ask me how much tea would I like with my sugar! :)
