Why tea is great

The perfect cup of tea

My perfect cup of tea is quite strong, average milk and 2 sugars. This might be someone's worst cup of tea though and like it weak and milky.

Milk first or last?

if I am making my tea in a pot I always put my milk in my mug first, if im making my tea in my mug I always add my milk last.

This is the information i have found out:
  • if milk is added to hot tea, the milk scalds.
  • if tea is added to milk, the temperature of the milk is raised less quickly and doesn't scald
  • both techniques look and taste different.
Tea is NOT dehydrating
tea is 99.5%water and does hydrate you. The amount of caffeine in tea is so low that you can have 6 cups per day without any duiretic effect.
