I've never made a tea or coffee in my life!
If I did I am sure it would be bad
Don't like either, cold drinks all the way!
Hai five!
They don't, it's wiping they stand up for, the scum.

I don't drink coffee, never have but for tea:
Twinnings English Breakfast extra strong
Hot water goes in, let it brew for a minute or so
Dash of milk, can't stand milky tea!
If I'm at home, put one ice cube in and wait a moment, it makes it drinkable more quickly.

I have never drank tea or coffee, tried tea once, disgusting. Coffee, well just the smell is enough to know not to try it.
Saying that though when ever we have guests around they are always getting me to make the tea/coffee's as i supposedly make a good brew.

Whilst some people do seem to be able to make a ****-poor cuppa taste-wise, what astounds me the most is how some people seem to be able to put a cup on your desk that is hotter than the ******* sun!?!?!
I mean what do these people do, make the cuppa and then nuke it in the microwave for 5 minutes just to make sure it's going to scald my mouth???? I use boiling water pored over a tea bag and then when it's the right sort of colour, remove the tea bag and add a splash of milk - hot but not so hot it feels like the water has been boiled in the pit of hell!!!!!

Tea brewed in the cup is fine as long as you get the kettle the second its boiled, so the teabag gets scorching hot water. Then milk once tea bag removed
Instant coffee I put milk in, then the granules, stir it so you can see what colour it a ends up, then boiling water, kettle right off the boil again.
Use a dripper for ground coffee, I won't bother typing that process out!

.. you need to try more things. Nothing quite like a nice cup of tea on a cold day.
Ice cube in tea? Heathen!
You need to perhaps try a good tea, instead of having one bad one and saying it's bad. There are quite a lot of types of tea as well.

We need to bring back the death penalty for making a bad cup of tea. I don't care what you have done in your life but making a bad cup of tea is the single worst thing you can do.
Edit: I like to think that if you make a bad cup of tea in prison for your prison mates you'll get beaten up.

Indeed. Even Hitler could knock out a cracking brewski.
It's the opposite with black tea. Close to 100C as possible (warm the mug/pot first) and avoid mashing the bag/leaves around.
