You're making a tea for yourself. What goes in first?

It goes in first, then add water so it can steep until its nice and strong...MMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

makes sense to me. i dont get it when ppl put the milk in before the water. whats up with that

Because then when you pour the hot water in the cup the sugar melts and isn't all grainy in the bottom. Well, I guess you could just stir it, but my laziness has once again shown itself... :/

Well, I usually first put the tea in my cup and then the sugar so it can melt. I don't mind stirring, but it makes things easier. Then I add some milk and voila a perfect cup of tea.

@ roundabouts - I think people traditionally put milk in the cup first to act as a buffer for the hot water. If the China cup was low quality, the hot water would make it shatter. The milk would cool the water a bit.

Water first, then teabag. Logical, right?

Tea bag, sugar, hot water, milk. Simply done.

Tea bag, hot water, waiting, done :)

Sugar first, then tea bag, pour hot water, let steep, then finally add the cream. Drink. Yum.
