If possible I like it in a bone china cup (mug is fine!) with milk in second, but I can't bear builders' strength tea. Sunday afternoon always puts me in mind of a 'proper' tea, large teapot on the go with diddy sandwiches and tons of cake. Was going to do some baking after lunch today, but went to put daughter number 2 down for a nap and fell asleep also.
I agree with you cj about the bone china (and Earl Grey- have you tried Lady Grey?) cffee is ok from a thick mug, but never tea.

Nothing could quite equal the disgusting taste of tea/coffee/chocolate/oxtail soup delivered by the machine at one place I worked.
