Why would you put milk in first?

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 2

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.

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.

Depending on the type of tea, I don't put milk or sweetener. I kinda like the subtle flavors that often get lost when adding other stuff.

Unless I'm using honey I always put the sugar in the cup while I wait for the kettle.

Honey after tea?

I just realised I didn't actually answer your question, if you put the honey in first you always end up with a bunch left on the spoon.

Honey instead of sugar is really good in some teas.

Milk used to protect the cup from the heat of the boiling water. These days it's archaic and barbaric. Sweetner + teabag -> water -> milk

It's not the heat that breaks them. It's the sudden transition.

Tea cups used to be poor quality which could break when hot water was poured into them. So people put milk in first to stop this.

Tea is not supposed to be piping hot. Anything over 70C will fuck the taste of the tea.

I always thought of that like that 'life issue' msg. Deal with the big stuff (cereal) then you can better deal with the lil stuff (milk)

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

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,...

You are correct. When Tea first came over we made shit bone china. The Temp difference caused it to crack. So at first it was the rich too.

Not so! Milk was traditionally poured into poor quality china first to prevent breakage. For good quality you are supposed to pour in 1/2

A small amount of hot water from the teapot (pre-steeping) and swirl it around in the teacup before discarding it.
