    Filtered water - heaped teaspoon of loose leaf Assam - splash of milk so it's the colour of rust - perfect!
    Later in the day I switch to Redbush tea - no milk

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    Filtered water freshly drawn. Rapid boil. Tesco Finest English Breakfast tea bag. Bone china mug. Stir for 30 seconds. Semi skimmed milk. Digestive or rich tea in the morning, ginger nut in the afternoon. That’s it. No arguing.

    I think you've all misunderstood the title. ' how so you serve tea!'
    I've always wondered that myself. Boiled water and dead leaves never appealed to me.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    I assumed it was an americanism for how do.

    I haven't drunk tea since I was 4, apart from the occasional herbal. I have a bean to cup machine for coffee, then switch to instant in the afternoons, then Milo  or Hotel Chocolat hot choc in the evenings. I used to like Ovaltine, but now there's rapeseed oil in it and I'm intolerant.
  • Water from our spring. Kettle . Mug.
    Morning wake me up supermarket own label ( tested several to get one I like)
    Afternoon dependent on mood/ Choice of Assam, Ceylon or as above, all with small dash of milk (hate milky tea!) or Darjeeling without.
    Drink coffee in between and in evening.

    Ma used to give us Milo … I hated it.  Liked Horlicks tho. She said it was the same … it isn’t 😖

    Tea never passes my lips.
    I like my coffee strong, like my women.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    How so is another way of saying Why

  • My wife recently spent a few nights in hospital she moaned about the tea, water and food, I have just returned home after four nights in hospital and drank the tea, water and ate everything that was put in front of me, never thought of myself as easy going before.
