LOL well yeah I guess I better let you know.
I never thought this topic would get so huge.
Thanks for all the replies.

I did make a cup for him. This is what I did:

1. Boiled kettle.

2. Put 2 cm of milk in the cup.

3. Chose the powder that was the least strong smell. Which I've found out is tea. I put (way too much I've been told by my Mum) into the tea strainer and hovered it on the cup.

4. Lots fell in the cup so I started again and cleaned the cup.

5. Poured in in the hot water over the strainer and then pushed on the tea with a spoon.

6. Added a bit more milk on top.

Conclusion: He actually drank it which is good. Although being a plumber and working in the kitchen, he could have tipped it down the drain. However he did look happy so I must have got something right.

He didnt want another one though and later had some water.

And there you have it.

I actually followed some more instructions today for the plasterer who wanted a coffee. It turned out well. To coffee lovers, I'm sorry to dissapoint but it was instant as the cooker is out of order at the moment.

We are having the whole kitchen re-done. It looks like a bombs gone off.

So success all round.
