Letter: Letters: Milk in tea

Published 11 July 1992

From N. C. FRISWELL

The answer is in British Standard 6008. This tells, in great detail,
how to make a cup of tea and, in clause 7.2.2, says that the tea should
be added ‘after the milk, in order to avoid scalding the milk’.

This BS is also an international standard. The real question is then:
Why can’t one get a decent cup of tea at an international standards meeting?
