Damn you! I was going to link that!secondcircle said:
Anyway, I'd actually agree with Orwell for the most part: Milk last, no sugar.
His reasons are exactly the same as my own too:
Also, to me, putting sugar in tea is akin to vomitting in it. I will literally have to spit it out.
I always preferred the tea steeped in the milk, water a minimum-but of course it HAS to be warm!

Seriously? I guess thats one of the things he's least known for,
I pour the milk last, after taken out the teabag. I would never pour the milk in first since I like to drink milk and the though of the teabag put onto the milk make me go ewww.
It depends, if there's a teapot then I put it in first but if i'm making a single cup manually then I put it in last.
Unless I'm making the tea only for myself, the milk goes in first and the tea is left to mash in the tea pot. If I'm making it for myself in a cup the milk goes in last because I don't like looking at the tea bag sitting in the milk until the water is boiled.
Or I drink it black.

I only put milk and sugar in my tea, when I feel like having something sweet after dinner, or a meal. And then I don't even use real sugar. I use a sprinkle of Truvia, or Stevia. AND that all depends on what kind of tea I am having in the first place! Some teas should never be diluted with milk and sugar (or so I believe). ^_^
But the point of this whole post, is that I mix the water and tea-bag together in a separate mug, letting it sit until the desired strength. While that's going on, I mix the milk and sugar together in my main mug. I pour the delicious still hot tea, into the milk and sugar(sweetner, w/e) and enjoy.
EDIT: Oh that reminds me. When I am sick, I only have tea with honey and a lemon wedge!
Mmmm Tea.

Usually if I'm at home making it for myself whack the teabag and milk in the cup whilst the kettles boiling, then drink it with the teabag in the cup.
But that's just because it makes for the shortest amount of time in the kitchen away from what I want to be doing, as I can grab whatever food whilst the kettles boiling and just fill the cup up on the way out.
Doesn't differ much if I'm making it for other people, just the way I stir and brew it instead of leaving it in the cup. Needs to be made with love.
A watery tea is the worst thing in the world, and will make me hate you the whole time I'm drinking it if I get handed one.

I always put the milk in last. Very occasionally I put in the milk before taking out the teabag if I'm in a hurry but that's it. As someone said on the last page, cold milk 1st makes the water cooler so it doesn't brew properly and the sugar doesn't dissolve as well and it can scald the milk and makes it taste different. Doesn't make a huge amount of difference but I prefer the milk last way.
