What kind of tea? Some I just use sugar...like peppermint and green tea.
Others though I add milk for extra flavor. And usually after I add the sugar.
If it's not sweet enough I can't drink it.

-I let my tea steep for 3-4 minutes if i want it straight (no sugar)
-sometimes depending of the tea itself (example cinnamon) i like to add a touch of milk and 1 or 2 teaspoons of sugar
-when i manage to get that sweet and awfully tick canned condensed milk, i add to the hot tea (goes specially well on fruity teas no sugar needed)
-i have tested tea with regular condensed milk, wipping cream, and heavy wipping cream..i have even made cappuccino tea by using the expresso machine's steam shooter.

I put the milk in after the water, But it dosnt really how you make it, so long as you enjoy it.
It depends on whether you want to make tea in the jordy/northerner style, or southerner fashion.
Folk from up north put the milk in WITH the bag, which creates a milder taste; whist I, like other southern folk, put the milk in AFTER the bag has been taken out, which results in a fuller flavour.
Now if you excuse me, all this talk about tea has got me in the mood for a mug of our national beverage...

When you add milk to boiling hot tea, you scald the milk, leaving for a potentially more bitter cuppa - whereas adding boiling tea from a pot to milk allows for the milk to heat up more gradually, resulting in a richer brew. (It's the casein in milk that benefits the taste and makes it sweeter)
If you can, make a pot of tea and add the already brewed cup of tea to your milk - make sure to use a tea cozy or something of that nature to keep the tea as hot as possible. Using pots with proper tea (not teabags) also allows you to use an infuser, which makes your brew taste awesome.
Making a single mug of tea, though, it's more efficient to just add milk in afterwards.

Sounded like Shale for a second there, "It doesn't have milky tea?".Cpt_Oblivious said:
I am very OCD about making my tea, I go through a little ritual to make it but milk goes in last.
Pop a tea bag in, fill to the level I want, get all the air out so it floats half way down the cup, stir it as fast as I can for 10 or so seconds, then one counter stir, lift the tea bag out, use another spoon to ring the tea bag out completely, stir the black tea as fast as I can, slowly pour in the milk till it's the right colour and finally a counter stir.
Perfic!
Who told you that about northeners? I have never seen a person do that, whether it be in a cafe or at home. I have seen a fair amount of people make tea and not once have I seen it done like that, it's sheer madness!PenneyBack said:
Milk ruins tea, I've found. It just tastes like you're sipping on watered down cow spittle.
I like my tea with bite and taste.
