Hot water+sweetener first (or it goes orrible) then teabag in cup and milk bit later...but....

I like strong tea so will need to be stirred later, hence the spoon stays in the cup :)

No sugar (diabetic) and so no spoon. I have milk, but only mental people need to stir because of that.

Here's another one: do you leave the teabag in or take it out? I liek strong tea, so I just leave it in there.

No spoon... I just have milk so no need to stir, Brownian Motion and convection mix it well enough :)

Anyway, it'd poke you in the eye or go up your nose ;)

Nooo don't leave the bag in the mug when adding milk, it's both sick and wrong ;)

Also, the milk blocks the holes in the teabag stopping the tea from brewing properly. You can get a monster strong cup of tea by leaving the bag in the water for five minutes then removing it.

Hmm. I'll try that but it does seem too much like hard work.

Put kettle on.
Put bag in mug.
Have a sit down.
Pour water.
Pour milk.
Have a sit down and a cup of tea.

That's what I do at the mo.

Very true, leaving the bag in is monstrous.

Bit of hot water, rinse the cup, make it warm.
Bag
Water
Leave the needed time
Take out the bag
Sugar and stir
Milk and stir
Ready

.. and don't forget the bag 1 hour or so in it because meanwhile you are coding ...

Now THAT is strong tea ..

Hmm, I like my tea strong, but preferably not tanns-your-tongue-to-a-leathery-wreck strong.

I don't normally need a spoon - teabag or loose tea in a filter bag, wait given time, either squeeze with fingers or... if no big audience, suck bag. yeah..I know..

I used to always drink it with the spoon in the cup, but in later years I've fallen out of the habit.
