Don't pay for somebody else to make your tea! A cup of ordinary tea should cost, like, 15p. That includes teabag, electricity, water, milk, and amortized cost of kettle and mug.
Even if you buy something unnecessarily expensive, like fancy matcha tea powder, you're looking at less than 50p.

- tom_ 8y agoMost everyday teas sold in the UK are made for use with milk. They are - or I have always found them so - a bit astringent and bitter without.

- shalmanese 8y agoLearn to brew loose leaf tea and you cut down even more on the expenditure (or rather, for the same 15p expense, you're consuming much better tea).
