Everyone knows the creme goes in first, then the tea.
Who puts milk in tea??
Cream or Creamer FIRST, then the hot stuff.
The Brits.
Best cup of tea I had was after having my first son in the UK. (Tea with milk and one teaspoon of sugar). They serve it right after birthing. Other than that...
The NHS sucks.
Everything else is racist
Just be careful not to curdle the milk. :)
“Everyone knows the creme goes in first, then the tea.”
No,no.no-——milk,(not cream) goes in second.:-)

Not me.
Do as you oughter, add acid to water.
I do.
I once shared an office with a statistician. She decided to go for a PhD in statistics, and this was one of the problems in her coursework. She had a heck of a time explaining the nature of the problem, though, because the order in which the cups are presented doesn’t seem to make much difference to me. Apparently, for the statistician, it makes a difference whether the blue cup is offered before or after the red cup, independently of whether the tea or milk was added first.
For what it’s worth, I almost always put the milk in last, tea or coffee...
I need a “Caucasian”
After reading This!
I’ve read that this custom started for a most practical reason. Tea was usually served in bone china cups, and starting with the milk ensured the hot tea would not crack the thin cups.
I’m a coffee drinker and I’m not boiling it on the stove like Grandma used to. Though I DID learn to drink coffee (with lots of milk, no sugar) at her Kitchen Table when I was about 4 years old. I never looked back! (Miss You, Grandma! Every. Day.)
I WILL admit that when we have tea it is decaf (Constant Comment) in the dead of winter to warm up after a long day of outside winter chores. I THEN put the cream in AFTER the tea is in my mug. :)
LOVE Constant Comment! Soooo yummy.....like Russiam Tea.
I probably have 5-8 cups per day. I always put milk in after as I brew tea in the cup. Hot water is needed to get the good parts from the tea. I then cool it down and reduce tannic acid with milk.
I don’t do milk/cream but I only do British tea! They do know how to do tea. Earl grey rocks!
