Same here. I like strongish tea with just a splodge of milk and luckily my wife and kids like it that way too. My best friend on the other hand has it like LT says with the tea bag dipped in for a second and very milky Ugh! I use the same tea bag now for his cuppa that I use to make mine without telling him He's as big as a mountain but I tease him that he's still on breast milk

The teapot only comes out if we have non-family guests, and then it is served on a tray in the traditional way with a stainless steel teapot of boiling water and milk in a jug and sugar in a bowl so they can all make their own preferred strength and type of cuppa.

Not posh but because I cannot be 'arsed trying to remember who has what.
