Like my teabag left in the mug/beaker and drink it with teabag in it..now someone will call me a mucky bu**ar but I don't care.
Like my tea like Miners tea.good and strong.

i only use punjana tea nothing else tastes as good

WARNING
dont let stray make you a cupper as its weak as p***
she shows the cup the tea bag
but i think she forgets to put it in the hot water

I don't even know where my teapot is anymore it's that long since I've used it lol.

My nan used to make tea so strong I swear you could stand a spoon straight in it !!!!!!!!!!!!!! yuk.

Though after watching the prog I've gone from a quick dunk to the 3 mins and I'm slowly getting used to it.x

I drink Yorkshire tea and leave teabag in for 5mins....

People should always remember to warm the tea pot first, this will help to keep the tea nice and hot whilst it brew's

5 minutes for me please,
and don't forget 1 sugar and a little milk for me :-) who's turn is it to put the kettle on then ;-)

We use tea bags ,one to a cup ,my missus and i are like a well oiled partner ship [not gin] lol.The wife likes her's made by throwing the tea bag at the cup and missing so i use a squeeze strainer on hers ,and put it in my cup ,then strain both after four minutes ,real army tea every time , :-D :-D :-D,Fred.

I make tea with loose tea and leave it to stand ,under a tea cosy for about 3 mins ,The first one out is for the person that likes tea a bit weak then each cup gets a bit stronger as its poured. WE don't like strong tea so i don't stir the tea before i put the lid on and let stand.

Even our grandaughter loves one of nannies real cups of tea, as she calls it

I've been thinking about this a lot lately lolol, I'm a coffee drinker but when I run out ( or don't feel well and coffee tastes vile) I have teabags...they are really naff, so I am going to use a tea pot in future and brew properly with some loose tea :-D

leave tea bag in mug for about 5/6 mins then squeeze it to death ,,,,,,,,yorkshire tea good and blood red ,,,,loverly.....


E,,suprised you dont strain it though matted sheeps wool...boy think if the taste that would give off,,,,,,,,plus it would give you added oils,,,,,,,,good for the skin... :-D :-D :-D ;-)

OH has black Earl Grey; the tea bag is probably dunked for about 45 secs while 'whoever' is messing about with the coffee and milk. It gets bashed around in the mug before being taken out.

The Inlaws 'breakfast' tea has the bag left in their cup for about a minute. Even though they like it strong, 7 mins is rather a long time!

ya tea would be cold by the time you got to drink it,

im a dip in stright out kinda girl,

weak n milky in this house :-D

How long do you leave your tea to brew?

I was watching a programme the other day where it said that if you leave it brewing for at least 3 minutes then you get the majority of the health benefits from it.....maximum benefits kick in at 7 mins (which to me seems a bit too long) x
