Why is there a 'Yuk' after MIF? It implies that the pollee should tick the box if thet think MIF is Yuk. Therefore there is no MIF = Yay option.

Milk in first is stupid, and so is anyone who does that.

As shown on the things your snobish about thread there are 2 variations to milk in first

  • Warm pot, put tea leaves/bag in pot, add boiling water, allow to brew, pour milk in to mug, pour brewed tea in to mug
  • Put tea bag in mug, pour on milk, add hot water
Clearly the first is the correct way to brew tea (though there's always some debate about water temperature), and people who belive the second is the way to make a cup of tea should be taken outside and shot.

I do, but I put milk in it to show that I'm straight/common.

I was drinking 5/6 coffee a day but realised it was driving me bonkers so I drink one coffee and lots of tea. Now I'm back to "normal".

Milk after. Water needs to be hot!

I only drink Earl Grey if I'm making it, but then I also like to make Earl Grey cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, so I'm not sure I'm well placed to dispute your accusation.

Surely it's completely dependent upon whether its being made in a pot?

If out of a pot then milk in first.
If its a tea bag then milk in second other wise it gheys up the tea

Earl Grey isn't tea. It's ground up potpourri smile

Milk in last.
