brew
In between writing novels, George Orwell also found some time to delight the nation with an eleven-step set of instructions on how to make A Nice Cup of Tea. He was a 'milk in last' man.
A team of scientists has worked on a three-year study which results were officially presented on Tuesday at the Royal Society of Chemistry and were yesterday all over the British press. They poured milk first instead, and introduced the use of a microwave over to thoroughly warm up the teapot (as opposed to just rinsing it briefly with hot water). I am tempted to say 'come on guys, it's just tea ferchrissake', but I appreciate the golden infusion too much to snigger at purists. I'm with Orwell all the way - milk in last and no sugar for me please.
