> However, according to Dr Stapley, the scientifically correct way to make the perfect cup of tea is to add the milk to the cup before the tea.
April Fool’s Day was over a week ago.
This might be hurtful if I gave a fiddler’s toss about the opinions of a Brit
1. Only perverts put in milk first.
2. Irish being mentioned in the title, yet not in the article suggests the site is ran by cunts.
Shockingly the shite article from [irishcentral.com](https://irishcentral.com) does not include a quote from said British professor saying anything about how Irish people do anything.
Taking culinary advice from the Brits is like getting swimming lessons from a rock.
They’re at it again
Milk first it it’s a tea pot
British professor wrong.
Well the ISO standard 3103 does state milk should be added first. But it does allow milk added afterwards.
Granted Ireland has objected to this standard due to lack of prewarming the pot.
Careful now
— to prevent tea “scum”
Gonna have to start using that phrase.
Supposedly milk was put into cups first so it doesn’t damage the bone china, but that’s not gonna make a difference to my ninja turtles mug
You put the milk in first if you’re poor, because your gaff is more likely to be cold; pouring boiling tea into an icy cup will crack the cup. Pouring boiling tea into a cup that already has some milk in it won’t crack the cup.
For 70years my parents made it teabag and water first, let it draw, then add milk. In their twilight years they switched to milk and teabag first, then add water. They swear by it. At least they did, the last time I spoke to them. Heathens
I put the teabag in the mug, then a bit of milk, then I boil the kettle and pour the water in, gives the tea a bit of time to flavour up the milk a bit.
