One friend I know always complains that the tea [in bags] are not very strong today, so she says she has to put two t-bags in one cup! YUK! So when I drink it, its only lukewarm and milky, which I find is very unpleasant. Her mistake is [and I find many people do this] is she puts the milk in b4 the hot water, which does not allow the tealeaves enough heat to bring its full flavour & color out... it will make it look weak & taste weak. The trick to a gd cup of tea is in the boiling water ~ milk should ONLY b added AFTER the hot water & when its the right strength for u.

But I don't think it would be that much considering it's practically the same. I’m not 100% sure what the difference would be between bagged and bag-less tea.

All during my "childhood" it was my "chore" to make her tea. Her chosen method involved pouring boiling water in a cup, and then taking a tetley tea bag in hand, dunking it by the string 20 times, and then removing the tea bag, without draining any tea from it. Then, adding milk in the amount of half the cup. (I forgot to mention that you may only fill the cup to half way full with the boiling water. I inwardly refered to this "blend" as milk water, hot,milk water. Oh well...thank you for sharing and for allowing me to as well. Peace. lol…this made me think of my mother, with whom I am estranged.
