Yorkshire tea is a good cup of tea, but the most important question is, do you add milk before or after the water, hand about better start a new thread for this answer.

You do know that your mother would rap your knuckles if you didn't put the milk in the cup first.  Otherwise the tea stains her nice china.

Dave, I always put the milk in first but I know a few who thinks that’s wrong no matter what.

I put mine in last. 

My mother said only 'common' people put it in first.

The reason the milk goes in first is so the hot tea doesn't crack you fine china. Personally not been brung up proper when making the tea in a mug with a teabag I put the water in first. Can't stand to see that teabag wallowing in milky water.

You put the bag in the cup? Yuch that is so common. Brown betty teapot is the ONLY way to go

Well obviously putting cold milk in first is going to make boiling the water pretty pointless , isn't it, when using a teabag.

Tea bag first> boiling water>Sugar to taste> finally milk

We all have our own take on how to make the best cup of tea, tea bag in the cup add the milk not to much add the boiling water then stir until the required colour then remove the teabag, it’s that simple .

Who leaves there teabag in
