Teabag + Hot Water then milk stir and squeze teabag

Yeh, unless you know the exact amount of milk you want.
With years of tea practice i have streamlined the algorithm to.
Fill kettle with water. Turn on to boil.
Take out cups, spoon and milk, put sugar and teabags in cups.
Once water is boiled pour into cups.
Stir it up. Take out bags.
Add milk to required taste.
I always find if you put the milk in first you often get knats ****.

FIRST YORKSHIREMAN:
In them days we was glad to have the price of a cup o' tea.
SECOND YORKSHIREMAN:
A cup o' cold tea.
FOURTH YORKSHIREMAN:
Without milk or sugar.
THIRD YORKSHIREMAN:
Or tea.
FIRST YORKSHIREMAN:
In a cracked cup, an' all.
FOURTH YORKSHIREMAN:
Oh, we never had a cup. We used to have to drink out of a rolled up newspaper.
SECOND YORKSHIREMAN:
The best we could manage was to suck on a piece of damp cloth.

1) Teabag in cup.
2) Pour in boilING water, not boilED water. The water must still be boiling as it hits the tea.
3) Stir well, briskly, so the teabag is spinning in a vortex. After 10 seconds or so, stop the spinning, and create the same spinning motion in the opposite direction. Repeat.
4) Leave for 3-5 minutes. Remove teabag, squeezing it just a little to stop dripping but not completely.
5) Add semi-skimmed milk, stir twice and drink.
It's one of those little routines I've set myself in over the last 10 years
and I've never had any complaints about my tea.

The only tea i drink without milk is earl grey, no sugar either just drink it straight, mmmm.....
yea earl grey is my favourite, but prefer with sugar to be honest

milk and sugar last, end of. Its a simple case of etiquette, dont you know.
Thought to be honest, tea should be consumed without milk or sugar

Fill kettle with just over twice the amount of water that you actually need, and boil.
Pour hot water into cup, with nothing inside. Fetch milk, teabag/s and sugar while you wait for cup to heat through.
Reboil kettle, and through hot water from cup down sink. Plonk teabag and sugar into cup, pour in boiling water, stir gently, leave for a minute
Stir again, add milk, remove teabag and voila!
