Now is this to the tea pot or into the cup?
Usual custom in our home, has been adding milk into the
cup first then add the tea from the tea pot.
Taste to see how much it has steeped and then add sugar
until satisfied....
Now I have seen the direct from the kettle into the cup,
but that wouldn't be dainty...would it.?

I would call her...but she always hands the phone to Phil
and I hear her say .... Oh Phil.... its that little
idiot from the colonys on the phone again....
Get rid of him..will you ... " < CLICK> "
Oh well .... Funny thing Andrew was ok when he stayed
here in my town next door.... he wasn't even bothered...but
it was crazy with security all over the place....and he
called it a holiday. yeah right

When I have seen Her Majesty the Queen pouring tea...if has
usually been from a tea pot. A little milk...goes in
and is not scalded...but the tea added slowing so as not to
scald the milk...then as mentioned add sugar < etc> as
needed for taste.
This might make a great topic ... Of course there is
another way to make tea andy...but I shall not get
into it...as I will be reading along to see the replys
you get from the ladys of the YL@WW network.
Hey Andy ... DO you know Yvonne ZR6TBL ? You might be
neighbours. Please say hello to her and her husband the
next time you see them. I know there are others over there
also here... on this YL@WW net... but I can not remember
the callsigns....
Welcome anyhow... it might be kinda nice to get the absolute
correct way to serve tea ...mmmm...I am thinking...what a
great addition to the up coming YL Cookbook Update.
