If so... Then you would be the first person I have met :-)>And if you put milk and sugar in it I can tell if you put it in after you poured the tea too, and I don't like it so much.
Hm. Thats interesting. I think I can taste the difference in coffee depending on whether the milk goes in first / last too... But it might be my imagination...
> Now, for a long time people told me that it was a petty affection of mine. HOWEVER. . ahem
> I found out that the reason is, if you put the tea in first, the milk is scalded and it alters the flavour.Ah. I have heard divergent opinions on whether milk is supposed to go in before / after water with respect to coffee making...
Some say that it should go in last. The hot water scalds the coffee so it releases its flavour. (Good thing)
Others say that it should go in first. The hot water scalds the coffee so that makes it bitter. (Bad thing)
I dunno...
Hadn't heard that about the milk.
I guess that makes sense :-)
