I put some extra fiber and collagen protein in my tea, so I put that in first, pour in the heated water, stir, and then the tea bag. If I'm away and don't have those available, the tea bag first all the way.

Teabag, sugar, then water and milk.
I'm not sure how normal this is, largely because this is coming from the same person who pours milk before her cereal LMAO
Water
Yes
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.
Stop right there, criminal scum
Cereal has to go before the water!
Only if you're adding salt and pepper. Otherwise water first.
Teabag! It just makes more sense to me...
Teabag, pour water over the bag and if there's a significant amount of detritus coming out of the bag discard that water and repour until the water is clear.
How about cooking hotdogs in a kettle?
Fish fingers in the toaster?
I've started leaving the bag in, the OG tea in Spain is gash, need to double bag.
Big Carrefour sells Yorkshire (for a treat) and, Mercadona sells PG Tips.

Water then bag: I brew in a pot and used to use one of those diffuser baskets that rests just below the lid. I switched to bags but kept the order of operations the same.
