And no, the microwave is not a valid option.
I put the teabag in first so the hot water will hit it and move it around and release the flavour.
Microwave the water on high for ten minutes, drop the teabag in, and run for my life
I’m not sure why the hate for microwaves exist. It’s literally just another method for making water move fast. It has absolutely no impact on the final product, as hot water is hot water no matter the heat source.
Heating water in the mike is fine. Heating already-made tea in the mike is fine. Heating water with a teabag in it in the microwave is the vilest act.
They’re designed to deliver the maximum amount of flavour in ~20 seconds.
So: bag first, then just-boiled water. Wait/steep for 20-60 seconds, fish out the bag with a teaspoon and squeeze against the cup, and then milk.
How do you milk your teabag?

The teabag. Otherwise it would float on top, similarly to why you put cerial in before milk.

You will be deported from Ireland for putting the water in first.

This is how you scold the tea
Perfect
This is the only answer
