    I can barely remember that episode, but was that line said by a Spanishy-sounding person? Because in my head it is, and it. is. hilarious.

    Sometimes I like no sugar, sometimes I like half a spoon. Literally one teaspoon of milk. Too much milk + any more than one spoon of sugar and you're not drinking tea, you're drinking warm, sugary milk.

    Sort of - I actually think it could be referring to a Scarface quote!

    Tea is preety damn good. 'Attempting' to cut back on some dairy as well as meat has made tea even better. Soya milk people. It's what tea was made for.

    The perfect cup of tea is very subjective and the key is to know your customer! Everyone wants it different and if you concentrate less on creating one ideal standard and more on tailoring each persons tea to their perfect cup, Your laughing. I know which friend likes loads of milk, which one wants two teabags (not removed) etc . Of course this means a few weeks of pissing off your friends with tons of questions, tea strength, colour but the more specific you get the better the tea . Their annoyance, and apprehension that you are muttering to yourself in the kitchen alot, will soon go away once you start serving up cracking cups of tea. I also find that making it slightly stronger then they specify is a good idea.

    well first off all you have to boil the kettle and in the mean time select your teabag, get your teaspoon ready and the milk so all is at hand.

    put the teabag in the mug and very very slowly pour the water in.
    then stir the teabag for 5-10 secs and squeeze the teabag against the side of the mug to get all out of it.
    dispose of teabag.
    pour a small amount of milk in, just a little more than is required to change the colour

    perfect tea :D:D:D:D:D:D:cool::cool::cool::cool:
