If it is for more than one I make it in a pot. if it is just me (or we are all having a pint - we all have pint mugs in our house) I make it in the mug, nice and strong, drop of milk and no sugar. However after many years as a midwife (babies don't wait) as long as it is wet I'll drink it.

Re: Tea
beurk - why not just make the tea in the sugar bowl ?Eruresto wrote:How do you take it?
For me, it's 3 sweetners, 1 sugar and leave the bag in!
(not the cargenogenic sweetners, don't worry!)

My own preference is for a porcelain mug of green tea - no milk, no sugar.....
If I have to make a pot of tea to share with someone I use one Earl Grey teabag and one ordinary teabag (both decaffeinated...). Depending on how long you let it brew it makes a very decent cup of tea with an unusual 'twist' to the flavour. If I ever drink Earl Grey on its own, it's fairly weak, no milk, no sugar, but a slice of lemon.
Interesting how people's tastes differ!

Tea-time : 1 ceylon, 1 lapsang souchong in the teapot, nuage de lait, no sugar
