I have a tea strainer and this powder that I think is tea, but it could be coffee powder I'm not sure.
He says he wants milk in it. How much should I put in ?
Could you tell me how you lot do it ?
And if you have coffee, tell me how you make that too as I havent a clue and its about time I learnt.
Thanks to you all.

Well, that's got to be the oddest technical support query I've ever seen on this board ...
OK:
1. Put the kettle on.
2. Smell the brown powder. Surely you must know what tea and coffee smell like ... ?
3. Get your tea pot out.
4. When the kettle boils, slosh a
little water into the pot and wash it around.
5. Empty the teapot and re-boil the kettle.
6. Put three very heaped teaspoons of tealeaves into the teapot.
7. Half-fill the teapot with
boiling water. This is very important. The water must be poured immediately after the kettle switches off.
8. Wait about 5 minutes.
9. Put some milk in the mug. If you're using an average size mug I'd guess you need about 2cm of milk in the bottom of it.
10. Put the tea strainer over the mug and pour the tea through it.
11. Ask the plumber how many sugars he wants!
12. Add sugar, stir well and serve.
13. Pour yourself one, you don't know what you're missing!
