I've been trying to remember when I last had a cup of tea. It's at least forty years ago. I got to the point where I couldn't even stand the smell of the stuff.

Coffee? Six or seven a day. Boring instant, none of this fancy stuff from the specialist restaurants. One-and-a-half heaped spoonfulls of granules, three sweetener pellets (used to be spoonfulls of sugar, but I'm no longer allowed), half way up the mug with water and then half a cup of cold milk.

It's then sufficiently cool that it goes back in one.

Three main rules for making a good cuppa...

1) Freshly boiled water... not re-boiled stuff.
2) Milk must NEVER, repeat NEVER, come into contact with the teabag.
3) No sugar - it marks you out as being a bit common.

I like my coffee like I like my men. Strong and black.

Don't you need water in there somewhere? You'll just be left with one inch of milk in a cup otherwise.

*cough*

As for me, boiling water over the tea bag, leave for a few minutes, remove teabag, good squeeze on the way out, dash of milk, no sugar and stir.
*whistle*

Don't you like your coffee in a plastic cup - just like you like your women?

My mum always preferred a proper pot of tea, and that's what you got if you went round, in proper tea cups with a saucer too - but she would let me off with a mug sometimes!

Last thing I do at night though is check heating and fill kettle for the morning, put out mug with teabag and sugar (I am on auto in the morning).
