Webbo Posted 8 March 2015 Posted 8 March 2015 Yorkshire for me. But what's all this 'put the milk in second' stuff? Mash the tea in a pot, add a dash of milk and then pour the tea. Saves my expensive porcelain, too. If you're mashing in a pot milk in first, if it's a teabag in a cup, mash, take the bag out and then add milk. Oh and I got some of that Russian Caravan stuff from Steenbergs and it wasn't any tastier than your bog standard English breakfast teabag. It's hipper though.
DB11 Posted 8 March 2015 Posted 8 March 2015 What's this term "mash tea" ? Even Google isn't helping me out. I can only imagine that you are squashing the tea bag until it splits and let everything go out? That sounds horrible

DB11 Posted 8 March 2015 Posted 8 March 2015 It's the same as brew. A brew is a cup of tea as in a noun rather than something you do to tea? Mash tea reads as if you are doing something to your tea
purpleronnie Posted 8 March 2015 Posted 8 March 2015 Haven't had a cup of tea for probably 7-8 years, maybe I'll go and mash a pot.

Webbo Posted 8 March 2015 Posted 8 March 2015 Mash comes from the brewing industry; (In brewing) mix (powdered malt) with hot water to form wort:the barley is dried out over peat fires and mashed with water which flows through peat groundMORE EXAMPLE SENTENCES 3Northern English (With reference to tea) brew or infuse:I’ve just mashed a pot of tea[NO OBJECT]: we’d let the pot mash for ten minutes
Fox92 Posted 8 March 2015 Posted 8 March 2015 Love a good brew. I have PG Tips mainly but not bothered if someone else is making me one.
Raj Posted 8 March 2015 Posted 8 March 2015 any type of normal tea that isn't fvcking gay herbal tea or green tea or lemon tea or bullshit. coffee is better tho tbf. ...same here!!!Nothing beats a good milky coffee though.
Buzzell Posted 8 March 2015 Posted 8 March 2015 Tea bag in, boiling water in, brew for 30 seconds, add milk, stir, remove tea bag, add 2 sugars, stir. Perfection.
Voll Blau Posted 8 March 2015 Posted 8 March 2015 I'm from Harborough and I'd say mash. Anyway - mash it for two minutes, teabag out, add milk. Done. One mate puts milk in first with teabag before water. Tasted alright but just looked so wrong.
ealingfox Posted 8 March 2015 Author Posted 8 March 2015 Tea bag in, boiling water in, brew for 30 seconds, add milk, stir, remove tea bag, add 2 sugars, stir. Perfection. Just 30 seconds?!?! Absolute madness. 2 minutes minimum.
Buzzell Posted 8 March 2015 Posted 8 March 2015 Just 30 seconds?!?! Absolute madness. 2 minutes minimum. I forgot to mention that I give it a good stir and squeeze the bag before removing it. **** brewing for 2 minutes. I haven't got time for that.
Stadt Posted 8 March 2015 Posted 8 March 2015 It gets that weird skin if you leave it too long though, I'd rather just stir it for 45-60 seconds and not run that risk. Also is there anything worse than getting a mouthful of lukewarm tea but then drinking it anyway?

Also is there anything worse than getting a mouthful of lukewarm tea but then drinking it anyway? That weird skin is from the limescale, you need a new kettle and use filtered water you animal.
potter3 Posted 8 March 2015 Posted 8 March 2015 I've found Coop 99 to be best, I guess Yorkshire is a distant second.

Buzzell Posted 8 March 2015 Posted 8 March 2015 There's nothing better than dipping Maryland double chocolate cookie's into a perfectly brewed cuppa.
