The milk always goes in first...

No, you always put the tea first!

What difference does it make?

All the difference in the world!

The milk stops the cups from breaking.

Well, it never did my cups any harm.

Why not add them together?

Don't be daft. That's even worse.

Have you ever tried milk tea?

I have it every day.

No, that's just tea with milk

Well, what's the difference?

Milk tea is a special kind of beverage

You can say that about any drink;

especially beer.

He's right mate, I don't get it.

It's served hot or cold.

And includes other stuff,

Sometimes, sugar, salt or honey.

What's with that puffed out face?

Who adds salt in their tea?

It's bad enough when it's cold

And the milk curdles on top
