British don't drink that much tea comparing to, say, Poles or Russians, which was a surprise, since english books stereotype British as massive tea drinkers. My ideal tea is Earl Gray with lemon. Put a teabag in a cup with a tiny slice of lemon (DO NOT peel off the skin, it's blasphemy). Pour boiling water into the cup, wait 15 seconds, squeeze the teabag and lemon with a spoon and chuck them. Good luck :) You don't have to warm up the cup, just pour the boiling water straight away. When water reaches tea it has around 95°C (204F). Tea from warm water is indeed disgusting. Not a big fan of tea with milk, although it work with Chai(especially Chai on milk). PS never use sugar!
