It was supposed to impart more flavour to the brew I think.

My Nan used to make tea with condensed milk...I didn't think twice about drinking it at the time, although Carnation isn't on my list of store cupboard essentials today.
Happy memories though!
Mr M leaves the patina to build up on his cup yuk !
To clean it I put in a dishwashing tablet and add water .
All the tanin bubbles off .
It’s like a rather gross science experiment .

Re: Tea Bags

I drink Yorkshire tea too but to be honest I have it so weak it's more like hot water...no milk or sugar just show the water a teabag

Baz, do you have an Iceland branch near you? They're selling 210 Yorkshire teabags for the price of 160. We were charged £4.50 a box this morning.

I have no recollection of that.

I usually get a large bag with about 500 teabags in it. That lasts a good while, unless we have visitors we only use two teabags a day. One bag does two mugs.

Re: Tea Bags

Westender...condensed milk in tea, brought back memories, it must have been in the early 50's sugar was still rationed, and when we didn't have any, my mum put condensed milk in the tea to sweeten it ,,

Re: Tea Bags

We used to have sandwiches with Carnation condensed milk in them. Very sweet but very nice, not that I could even eat one nowadays as my 'sweet tooth' has long since gone, as did 10kg!
