Hello there! I'm Conor one of the new Community Educators

i_am_sy

conor_jm don’t even know where to start with a coffee, i’ve now been outed as a non coffee drinker 😅

Haha whoops!

First step is to make it the right way, unlike tea haha

mrjeeves

conor_jm #teammilkfirst

Just to clarify… is it milk before the water? Milk after the water but before the teabag? Or even gulp milk, teabag, water? (At that point you may as well just skip the water altogether!)

conor_jm

mrjeeves it's brew the tea in a teapot, put milk in the cup, then pour the tea in to the cup. Maybe it's just an Irish thing, or just a Conor thing 😆

@scottliddle25126585 Thanks for welcoming me 😃 it's fantastic to be here and I look forward to speaking with you more 🙂

sha_shah1 it’s absolutely lovely to meet you too 🙂

@jeff_elephant I’m not quite sure what it is that I like about Masterchef Australia - I have just been watching it for years and they often cook a lot of street food on the show which I really enjoy. I also really like watching Saturday Kitchen but I can never do the recipes on any of these cooking shows justice 😅. I have a background as an agent but the community is very different and I have absolutely loved meeting our fantastic members like yourself on the community 🙂

Ok, that isn’t as bad… I thought you were brewing with milk and water! But you can’t tell how strong your tea is that way! What if you put too much milk in?! 😛

Doing that means you can’t control the strength of the tea lol

Tea bag in mug
Hot water
Get it to just the right strength
Remove tea bag
Add milk until the perfect colour
Sugar/whatever
Stir
Give to Sy, or punch him in the face - one of the two.

Wow, proper tea 👍

I can’t remember when I last had that!

Leaf tea or tea bag?
Whichever it is, I trust you warm the pot before adding the tea.

conor_jm

mrjeeves and @i_am_sy you are making good points but if I make the tea with the tea bag in in a mug what happens if I want to go back for a second cup - use a new tea bag? 😅

@chaaaan thank you so much, I look forward to talking with you more 🙂

conor_jm Welcome to the community Conor .

good post wa wawa😍😍😍😍😍😍😄

i_am_sy

conor_jm use a new tea bag?

Absolutely!

Boil water again and start over, a quick rinse of the cup is fine and away you go lol

Welcome to the giffgaff forum conor_jm Given your experience as an agent you will have great insight into the everyday problems members have.

ALthough I'm not a golfer, I have many friends who play and the most wonderful local golf course at Dunstanburgh Castle Golf Club. If your are ever in Northumberland it's definitely worth calling by for a round.

Although I mainly drink coffee rather than tea if I do have a cuppa I want it exactly as you say. Made in a pot and poured into a cup after the milk. Strength is controlled by serving the tea with a pot of boiling water i_am_sy ☕

conor_jm Hi Conor,
Welcome to giffgaff community. Glad to meet you.

conor_jm

bvbc It’s absolutely fantastic to meet you too, I look forward to getting to know you more 🙂

@oliviazali thank you, it’s wonderful to be here 🙂

@davidevans0000 cheers for welcoming me, I can’t wait to get stuck in 🙂

@peterdbsc for me the tea becomes a guessing game in terms of how dark it is - it’s a bit of a lottery really 😅 I don’t take sugar either, but I add a sweetener on occasion to spice things up a bit

conor_jm Welcome to the giffgaff community team Conor!

Hi Conor,

Many thanks for your previous, private messages.
Feel I know you already but—-

That’s no way to make tea!
Definitely milk second, if at all, otherwise how do you know you’ve added the right amount?
I like it black, no milk, no sugar. It’s much more refreshing that way.

conor_jm

anth006 Thanks for your lovely welcome. I do like to travel around Ireland playing golf so if I ever take a golfing trip to England I will be sure to look in to it 🙂 You sound like someone who know’s how tea should be made haha

@wagstaffes Thanks for welcoming me even though you have had a bad history with labradors 🙁 I deeply apologise on behalf of all labrador lovers 🙂

@miche22542 I look forward to speaking with you more, and I look forward to your tips on a perfect brew 😅

@ray2 Thank you for such a lovely welcome 🙂. Unfortunately I am not a coffee drinker and I’m not even sure how to make coffee, so I will spare the feelings of all coffee lovers by leaving out my method for making the perfect coffee 😆 I definitely look forward to getting stuck in around the community 🙂

@endorphin Thank you, I look forward to speaking with you more 🙂

conor_jm welcome. I was bitten by a Labrador once, but, I won’t hold it against you 🐕️ 😆

conor_jm Hi Conor already met you through private messaging but welcome once again…. I’d just like to say 1 wouldn’t want you to make me a cup of tea ☕️ 😂😂🤗🤗 Michelle

ray2

conor_jm Hi and massive welcome Connor,i hope you are enjoying giffgaff so far,i think it really helps you was previously an agent which makes you more aware of issues that crop up for members,and you have already interacted with members plus plus 💜

(courtesy of shutterstock.com)

I have confidence in your tea making skills although some members will think you are doing it the wrong way round 🤣 i see no mention of your coffee making skills is this intentional or shall we quickly skim over that part 🤣
Hope to see you getting stuck in around the forums,maybe a quiz or competition to lighten the mood in these abnormal times 😄
Wishing you all the best,take care

endorphin

conor_jm we’ve already met but welcome anyway! 🙂
