I actual put a time on my phone. I the evening though I most have leaf tea and use an infuser again 3 minutes. As you say the cup matters too oddly lol. You have let your self down with the milk in first though Milk in first for the lower classes, milk second for the upper classes ! Something to do with quality of crockery back in the day……the upper classes could afford better quality that would take the heat of boiled water but the lower classes couldn’t and the cup would crack if you added boiling water first, hence milk first. Probably total bollocks but that is what I heard. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jonjon79 13,340 Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 I've never had a Costa or Starbucks coffee - I've tried to order similar stuff on holiday but, just got tired of the daftness of it. ........ I like 2 strong cups of instant before work - 3 spoons of coffee and plenty of milk in each one, no sugar. When the weather gets cold, I take a flask of tea to work - 3 PG Tips bags, hot water and a bit of milk, tea bags left in all day - the last cuppa is always the best Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So much so that I bought a box of them from the catering supplies people so that I wouldn’t run out ! Tea just don’t taste right in anything else. 2 Tetley tea bags, milk in first (because I’m from the lower classes !) and then water, allow to brew for about 3 minutes to a very dark brown, then 1 sugar (I have cut down from 3!) Thats my poison. Anyone old enough to remember the enamel mug ? Terrible ! Would burn your lips off ! ! Cheers. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Got fed up with breaking the other fukking things. Got one right now, as it happens. Use it for putting the spoon in once I've stirred my mug (Can't stand anyone stirring their tea and then dropping the wet spoon on the side! Sends me into a psychopathic Rage!!!) I'd bang up a picture, but, I don't need the shit. It's a totally utilitarian object. Might as well be an old paint tin. I only hang it up and never really think to wash the outside of it. It is, admittedly then, a bit gnarly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
