Tea, and the achievement of the perfect cup.

Tea. A very serious business in my house. Taken so seriously, in fact, that on a message board I frequent, there was a whole thread dedicated to it.

I was being wound up beyond all recognition. Good laugh, amazing people.

It is with this in mind that I present to you my guide for making the perfect cup of tea. For now, I'll only post the quick way, but if demand is high enough I may be persuaded to post the full blown event.

Quick Method

You will need:

1 Tetley teabag(drawstring, optional)
1 "dod" of milk
2 teaspoonfuls of sugar.
1 kettle with hot water


1. Put the milk, teabag and sugar into the mug
2. Pour the water into the cup and allow to stew for approximatley 2 minutes.
3. Once brewed to an orange/terracotta colour.
4. Throw the teabag away.
5. Stir well and drink, safe in the knowledge that you have just made the perfect cup of tea in a maxiumum of 5 minutes.


You have created the perfect cup of tea. Congratulations and welcome to the Tea Drinkers Club of Swandanavia. Feel free to sign your name to a petition and pat yourself on the back.

Tonight though, I've been speaking to Vanessa mainly. Markle has been watching the A-Team all night. Me and V have talked music, cheese, other stuff, tea, heroes, drinking, guinness food and lots of other things.

She's gone to bed now, so its just me. I think I'll try to go to bed.

Maybe once Scottie has stopped his music stream

Are you INSANE??? The teabag and the milk should NEVER EVER come in to contact with one another.

thats a mental way of making tea. the milk goes in after the teabag is taken out. but good call on two sugars :) x
