Do you put milk in before you put in the hot water when making tea.

yes, I do I don't drink tea haven't for over 30 years so I find it helps me to brew the tea to the correct strength for the drinker, I have always been told I make a cracking cuppa.
My recipe is:- Tea bag, then sugar, then milk, (then if making for a child or dog cold water) then hot water halfway up - stir 50 rotations, squeeze the bag out, fill to top with water, and stir again.
The reason for mile first goes back to when tea was first brought to the UK as you needed to put cold liquid into the china cup to stop the hot water/tea from splitting the china so it was always intended to be milk first. -
Dog?

This thread just remined me of a Taskmaster episode that I re-watched quite recently!
This clip takes the debate about how to make the best cup of tea to a whole new level. Admittedly, I wouldn't fancy a cuppa made by this lot of comedians though.

Oh I have to put the milk in first in my wife’s tea and my coffee. Coming from Ireland my mother always taught us that without the milk you scald the tea/coffee. So old habits die hard. Lol ????

I was taught at one point to pour the water over the back of the spoon as it goes in to avoid scalding it @Paddyrooney62- it's a minefield!
