Why would you put milk in first?
karuso
to protect the cup from cracking due to the hot water. Not needed anymore, but in the 17th century and it's the reason milk was used anyway.
magneticmagic3
Excuse you, who the hell puts milk in first? Some buffoon featured on an infomercial?
AmandaDunne
Milk first so the hot tea doesn't shatter the porcelain.
That shouldn't happen with higher quality porcelain/stoneware, and prewarming the mug/cup should do the trick w/out compromising the tea.

As a French : why the hell would Paris Attacks be taboo ? This is the first time I ever hear of that.

According to Dr Stapley of Loughborough University established that putting the milk in after the boiling water is incorrect, as it causes
the milk to heat unevenly (as opposed to pouring the water on top of it). This uneven heating of the milk causes the proteins in it to
denature, meaning they lose their structure and “clump”, affecting the taste and contributing to that skin you get on the top.
Dr. Stapley can suck my British dick.
The theory put into question here used fresh milk which causes more of an effect and if you read the whole thing it says it is subjective...
...due to a difference in taste. I put my milk in after the tea because I measure using the color and it cools off the tea; otherwise,...
Yeah well he's wrong and he's a cunt

According to Dr Stapley of Loughborough University established that putting the milk in after the boiling water is incorrect, as it causes

the milk to heat unevenly (as opposed to pouring the water on top of it). This uneven heating of the milk causes the proteins in it to

denature, meaning they lose their structure and “clump”, affecting the taste and contributing to that skin you get on the top.
