who would want milk in tea? ugh

Well explained

Take the hint from the usual clarification i.e. "Milk or sugar?". A choice between the two is the expected response but if both are insisted upon, milk then sugar.

Denture removal in all it's colourful faux pas will be treated in much the same manner as excessive flatulence i.e. it will be politely ignored but privately commented upon. Unless the culprit, with due respect to your mother, is either educated by a coach or by a loved one (you) she may find the invitations to Teas will diminish.

Etiquette always defers to necessity.

While tea is definitively English and originated from China, I'm certain it is possible for 'even' an American to learn, understand and teach the practice.

Apparently the reason it is working class to add milk first is that back in the day,if you couldnt afford china cups the hot water would crack the cups, so they would add milk first then hot water. if you could afford a china cup then you didnt need to worry about this so added milk last. There is no such thing as scalded milk, you can get different taste depending on how much you strain the tea bag,( or how many you put in the pot) or what type and how much milk you use and how fresh it is.

@ornitorrinco01 we'll have to agree to disagree. In my opinion, adding a small amount of milk to very hot, almost boiling water and tea, will scald the milk and taint the tea. That's how it's done in my country anway. I'm from England.
