    Tea pot tea - warm the teapot. Put milk and sugar in the cup first.

    mug tea - milk last as I am too lazy to faff.

    Now I drink green tea so I don't have milk. (Told you I was lazy)

    I've just had to make a brew now!

    Fresh water in kettle.
    Boil it.
    Teabag in cup.
    Pour water in.
    Let it brew (the lesser known Disney song!)
    Teabag out.
    Sugar (OH, not me, I'm sweet enough)
    Stir (without making the clinking sound!!)
    Milk
    Final Stir
    Done.

    I never drink tea but everyone says I make a good pot of tea. I always warm the pot and then add teabags and make sure the water is boiling before I add it.

    I put milk into the cups first before pouring the tea from the pot. I don't like making tea in just a mug. My way people usually get three cups from a couple of teabags.

    Teabag
    Sugar
    Milk
    Boiling water
    good 'movement' and bit of a squish
    bit more milk if necessary (usually yes)
    PERFECT :)


    If you put the milk in last, you often get those horrible bits floating on the top that then stick to the inside of the mug as you drink. YUCK.

    10ml Finlandia Vodka
    10ml Bombay Sapphire Gin
    10ml Cazadorez Tequila
    10ml Bacardi Superior Rum
    10ml Cointreau
    25ml Lemon Juice
    25ml Sugar Syrup
    Top Diet Coke

    Shake all the ingredients in a Collins glass full of cubed ice. Top with coke and add a slice of lemon

    I'm afraid that the only tea I drink is from Long Island

    Leave out the Cointreau and its a Texas Tea.

    Use lemonade instead of coke and its a Long Island Lemonade

    Use cranberry juice instead of coke and its a Long Beach Iced Tea

    I'm a coffee drinker so I prefer an Espresso Martini :D
