Everybody has their routine in the morning, and nine times out of ten that routine includes making a cup of tea to kick-start you into the day. Then when you finally get to work, chances are you head straight for the kitchen for another one.
If your work place is anything like ours, then the chances are slim that you will walk out of that kitchen with a single cup of tea. The minds here thrive on tea and caffeine, and if any quality work is to emerge from them throughout the day the brain-cells have to be hydrated. I'm surprised someone hasn't thought of bringing in an intravenous drip.
It's because of this that we have a thing here called `The Dreaded Tea Round!` If someone bravely offers you a tea, then it is expected, upon pain of death, that the favour be returned. But, boy! is there trouble if you make a bad round! So, to save anyone from suffering this wrath, I'm going to explain how to make the perfect cup of cyber-tea or coffee:
With tea, the water is added directly onto the teabag. This in turn is stirred vigorously. Never add the milk before the water. It clouds the tea and prevents you from achieving that perfect golden colour and taste. This is added just before the teabag is about to pass out through dizziness after circling around the cup a hundred times. Add more than a splash but less than 
half a pint. Your tea should appear to have a perfect body to it now, and will be wonderful when slurped.
half a pint. Your tea should appear to have a perfect body to it now, and will be wonderful when slurped.With Coffee, use a heaped teaspoon of granules, followed by plenty of milk - don't skimp here! - then add the water. Never add the water before the milk. This burns the coffee, giving it a slight bitter taste. If you use enough coffee and plenty of milk to compensate its strength, then you will have a cup that, too, should appear with plenty of body. The perfect cup of coffee.
And if perfection is what you are after, then I suggest some custard creams for dunking, and one 
of our kettles to boil the water in. Just don't over-dunk. You'll then have to face the soggy mess as you reach the bottom of the mug.
