Teabag. Make sure the water doesn't hit straight on the teabag, but kinda dunk it so it's fully wet while pouring.
Teabag and sugar, then drown it in a scalding stream of boiling water.
Teabag first just because the water will take a bit to heat up and I might as well do it while I'm waiting
Hot water in the base chamber of the pot. Coffee in the funnel. Top chamber screwed on. Put on a high heat until the coffee is ready.
And then the teabag last?
Teabag
Boiling water
Leave a for a couple of minutes
Remove teabag
Add milk
Kids distract me so I never end up drinking it
I've a sweet tooth and like a bit of honey in my tea. So, I put a dab of honey in the cup while the kettle goes, then pour the boiling water in, and use one of those little electric milk frothers to stir it up thoroughly. While the water is still spinning, I toss the tea bag in, and throw the lid on the cup to let it steep for however long.
An interesting alternative that I've found (for when making English breakfast or something similar) is to steep the teabag in the milk first before adding the hot water. I find that it cuts down on the bitterness and makes a much smoother tea.
Water.
If the cup is not full enough, I'll top it up (and spill the amount again once I get to my table).
Tea bags got many microplastics...
I recently learned this and bought one of those sieve tongs , but because I still have a bunch of tea bags left over, I opted to just rip them open and put the tea in the tongs. Works like a treat, once you figure out how to rip them without spilling everything lol
Same!

Put the tea in a tea infuser thingy. Boil water in a kettle. Pour water in teapot. Let infuse required number of minutes depending the tea. Remove tea holder from tea pot. Enjoy nice tea ;)
Milk, then water, then I empty the teabag into it. Duh.
I also like to put the water in the bowl before I pour the cereal in.
