Just discovered I'm a Mif! (lighthearted thread)

That must make me a NMAA (no milk at all) then.

I’m proud to be as common as muck: I put milk in first. And I rented my wedding dress!!

Milk in last for me. Tea ball in mug, hot water, swirl it around, add milk, check colour, maybe another swirl. Lovely and DH has mastered it too - he only drinks coffee.

Well I'm definitely a MiF. And I will not change!

Tea balls are new to me, please explain what these are?

If I'm having tea poured from a pot it's milk first but if I'm making tea with a tea bag it's milk last.

Only in this country could all this be broken down into "class" related, surely?

I even have milk in Earl grey, so I suppose I must be really common. I've discovered that really posh people call the living room/lounge etc 'the family room.'

Definitely MIL

I call the lounge "the laaaange"
Not posh here.

I use a teapot and teabags. Have a standard size for 3 and a bit cups and a small white china pot for a large one cup. Always MIF.

I am a MiF, I use tea bags mostly, but I am a MiF when I use a tea pot.Use mostly mugs but I do think tea tastes better in a china cup.I am not a snob I promise.

I cannot abide a tea-bag in a cup/mug; I have to use a pot - and never milk in the mug first. I always refuse tea made by one of my sisters, as she puts the tea-bag in the mug with milk, and then puts the hot water in; I just say I'd prefer a coffee instead.

Proper loose leaf tea (large leaves) and milk in first in proper china cups with saucers. Nothing else tastes the same. Tea bags give the tea a strange taste and putting the milk in last scalds the milk. Yuk!

I’ve always called it the front room. I’m not sure why, as our only back one is the kitchen.

Mil all day long.

It's a class thing. I was brought up as a MIF but now put the milk in afterwards so I can see how much I need.
