The microwave is a fundamental part of the Make Tea -> Forget About Tea -> Reheat Tea cycle.
Also, I have to put the bag in first, because otherwise I've no idea how much room I need to leave for it (which you'd think I'd be able to eyeball by now, but apparently not).
The coffee grounds.
Doesn't really matter, as long as you add the sugar while the liquid is hot enough to go into supersaturated solution.
Then chill and add ice.
Teabag
Boiling water
Leave a for a couple of minutes
Remove teabag
Add milk
Kids distract me so I never end up drinking it
Teabag first just because the water will take a bit to heat up and I might as well do it while I'm waiting
An interesting alternative that I've found (for when making English breakfast or something similar) is to steep the teabag in the milk first before adding the hot water. I find that it cuts down on the bitterness and makes a much smoother tea.
Teabag. Make sure the water doesn't hit straight on the teabag, but kinda dunk it so it's fully wet while pouring.
I've a sweet tooth and like a bit of honey in my tea. So, I put a dab of honey in the cup while the kettle goes, then pour the boiling water in, and use one of those little electric milk frothers to stir it up thoroughly. While the water is still spinning, I toss the tea bag in, and throw the lid on the cup to let it steep for however long.
Put the tea in a tea infuser thingy. Boil water in a kettle. Pour water in teapot. Let infuse required number of minutes depending the tea. Remove tea holder from tea pot. Enjoy nice tea ;)
Teabag, sugar, then water and milk.
I'm not sure how normal this is, largely because this is coming from the same person who pours milk before her cereal LMAO
Teabag, pour water over the bag and if there's a significant amount of detritus coming out of the bag discard that water and repour until the water is clear.
Teabag! It just makes more sense to me...
How about cooking hotdogs in a kettle?
Fish fingers in the toaster?
I've started leaving the bag in, the OG tea in Spain is gash, need to double bag.
Big Carrefour sells Yorkshire (for a treat) and, Mercadona sells PG Tips.
Water then bag: I brew in a pot and used to use one of those diffuser baskets that rests just below the lid. I switched to bags but kept the order of operations the same.
I put some extra fiber and collagen protein in my tea, so I put that in first, pour in the heated water, stir, and then the tea bag. If I'm away and don't have those available, the tea bag first all the way.
Making tea atm, teabag first!
