How long do you leave the tea bag in for? Its a few quick dunks for me before it stews. No milk, never, ever.

Anyone on this side of the pond ever drink iced tea? My sister in law's a septic, she drinks it by the gallon. Fucking horrible stuff.

Milk in tea is just plain wrong.

Saw some fella from Bradford doing that on telly on a cookery programme a few weeks ago. Don;t think he was Indian though.Looked too milky for me. I'm not a milk fan.

Just something about drinking the milk that comes out of a cow.

It's milk.

From a cow.

I mean who first looked a calf suckling a stinking cow and thought... Hmmm....

Earl Grey is vile. It's like milkey tea with perfume in it.
Its for people who can't handle proper tea.
Im a PG fan myself, it's the taste!
Nice and strong, no sugar and just a dash of milk.
Im drinking one as I type. Smuggled a couple of tea bags into work. They only have Tetleys downstairs.

Don't mind black 'proper' tea. But black not with that odious, greasy substance (milk) that pollutes the taste. Tetleys and PG tips are both poor. Twinings breakfast tea, now that's nice. But Earl Grey is nice black or with a slice of lemon in it - both work. Not bad with Ice as well. In the summer.

Sir_Gaylord_Retardo

As I said, E.G. - for people who can't handle proper tea. You no tea handler you.

I make you right about the Twinings Breakfast Tea. Comes a close second.

Had some when I was in Boston years back. Ordered tea, and they brought over what I thought was a glass of coke. The conversation that followed with the greaser who served me was confused as fuck. "OH you mean like, hawt tea?". I was 20 and....what other fucking tea is there?! :o. Anyways I drunk it, all part of the experience blah blah, but not since.

:lol:Always feel like it's the type of tea I should like, like. Try it every now and again but one mouthful later and I'm fertively looking for the nearest office plant pot.

Are you audtioning for a ' Straight Outta County Mayo' gig here? That stuff disolves tea spoons within 3 feet of it. Don't tell me, its got to have 9 sugars and be in a pint mug? :P

Fortnum's Breakfast Tea. Seriously, I love it. Have to go back in there tomorrow to stock up, thinking about it. Staff are great in the food hall, all seem to be Scousers.

Interesting fact...well I found it interesting. Twinings and Fortnums are owned by the same family (Westons). Think they still are. Also the restaurant on the 4th floor does the best carvery ever. Only charge a £1 extra for wine off the shelves.
