Wonderful! Thanks Frenchfrog!

I�m just having my cuppa and logged on to see if there was anything interesting on the go...

Will check out all the site while I sip away at my tea!!! (with milk in the true English tradition!)

Then it�s off for some Xmas shopping! Ho ho

Last lessons on Monday & Tuesday....bliss!

And in the true Xmas spirit...shouldn�t we all be drinking EGGNOG and GLUWEIN???

Kisses from sunny Thessaloniki (N. Greece)

Christmas Greetings

So alex1968, a question - do you put the milk in your cup first or after the tea?

Does anyone else know about the history of statistics & why this is a significant question? Geek

I put the milk in first, tea afterwards! No sugar...but stirred nontheless...and scones with jam and cream.
(Actually scones all too much hassle to make first thing in the morning!!! LOL

)

And yes, I have a tea cosy and all! You have to let the tea brew a bit Wink

Yes, letting one�s tea draw is essential for a proper cuppa. Hmmm, scones, only a 5 minute job for a batch (I have an unfair advantage as I�m a chef too). Wish I had an oven, or even a fire or bbq to use!!

So, can you taste the difference in your tea if milk is added before the tea compared with after? This links to the statistics question...

Hi there Frenchfrog Smile

Wanna know something strange... when I make tea (yes, I love tea even though I�m a Canuck! Wink

) if I am using loose leaf it doesn�t matter too much about the process, BUT if I use a bag... I prefer it when I add the water to the cup (tea pot) and let it steep for a while, then if I pour the water on top of the bag. I prefer it when the tea steeps "naturally" than the other way, it�s like they flavour is "forced" out to some extent... Crazy, huh? Maybe it�s just me... *shrugs*

Well, personal beliefs are often more important than empirical data when determining personal taste!

I don�t like to jiggle my teabag if I�m using one - I prefer to let it steep first too (i.e. water first, then teabag, then take teabag out before adding milk or lemon or rum or whatever)

Still no ideas on the relevance of tea & statistics???

OH, FRENCH FROG! GREAT LINKS THANK YOU (sorry for inserting/inflicting irrelevance into your thread)

Thanks frenchfrog! Hey alien boy we are having a BBQ for Christmas this year as we cant get to my partners family here in sweden... We are making our own Christmas, so in the snow we are firing it up :-) Markus is worried about what the neighbours will think.. I keep saying to him don�t worry just say its my culture hehe....
As for tea, I love tea, and I�m a milk AFTER the seeping... but with cofee if I have milk I add it BEFORE the boiling water... :-)

So cheezels, you laying a hangi or what? If I could turn up to celebrate I would!!! (I�d happily bring the sake...)

And now to give you the dope on tea & stats!

In England, at a summer tea party in Cambridge, a lady stated that "tea poured into milk tastes differently than that of milk poured into tea." There were several scientific bods there who �shouted down� this notion. But one guest, Ronald Aylmer Fisher, proposed to scientifically test the lady�s hypothesis.

This was actually an important hypothetical test case presented by Fisher in 1935. Fisher was an expert in data collection, collaboration & analysis. In his field he is very important & this is a famous hypothetical construct.

Happy sipping everyone!

p.s I must admit I like a nip of rum in sweet black tea during winter - also very English (& may be related to �rum, sodomy & the lash�, another great British naval tradition...)
