Best damn Star Fleet captain there ever was. Coincidentally, I had a whole pot of Earl Gray today, straight, unsweetened. Now I'm having some tea made from chamomile that was growing near the herb garden.
That's the only correct way to drink tea.
So true. It took me a while to wean off the sugar, a bit less time for the milk. I found the key was brewing temp using a thermometer, especially for green teas that otherwise get astringent and bitter. By now I can judge the temperature that it will brew at in the pot, whatever a certain type of tea needs, based on just the sound of the water approaching a boil... But I digress from the topic at hand.
