sariel85873yEfficiency is rarely genius, and sometimes it's just plain stupid.
Milk goes in *after* you've steeped your cup.
I'm not even British and I fucking know this. -
@ScribeOfGoD I meant here as in where I worked. Only two tea-sipping brits to tell the rest how it worked.
@C0D4 Do people microwave their tea water now or something? Even I'm feeling old if thats the case... -
hjk10157523yAnyone with half a brain knows you can't put milk in a electric kettle or anything without a special treated surface and even then it requires quite some cleaning.
If someone is stupid enough to heat milk in an enclosed metal thing you can't clean like a kettle. Well it's too stupid to be alive. -

> Do people microwave their tea water now
This might be baffling to a brit, but many people go about their lives without ever consuming tea.
Personally, if I want tea, I open the "cooking hot water" knob on the faucet in the kitchen, and 95c water comes out, because there's a water cooker in the cabinet underneath. -
@sudo-woodo I don't have a tea kettle, I use a... how do you guys call that... it's a type of pan that's used to heat milk 🤔
-
@Milk what have you done now? SMH!
@sudo-woodo and others, not sure why everyone is losing shit over this. In India, we normally have our tea with milk. It's a normal cultural thing here.
I know many countries drink tea without milk but that is not something one should flip over about. -
sariel85873y@Floydimus unless I have misunderstood the problem, it's not milk with tea. The problem is the order of operations.
Tea, with milk, yes.
Tea with milk, no.
Cleaning a kettle is already hard business, but add in milk scum after a long boil? No thanks, toss it out. -
@sariel WE add milk to our team while the boiling activity.

NSFL for some of you. -
milk2133y@Floydimus so sorry guys, it was me 😔🤚🏼 milk jugs aren’t enough for my milk tea recipe which is 90% milk
-
@Floydimus You're not supposed to put milk in an electric kettle, it's just for boiling the water. If you're pan-boiling it, sure, add the milk, but don't break the machine

darksideofyay3devrant: tell us about your shitty co-workers everyone:
Somebody put milk in the tea kettle.
To be entirely fair, I'm sure nobody from here has ever seen a kettle, let alone used one.
