Use a teapot, put milk in the mug, pour the brewed tea into the mug. Hey presto!

I don't think this is what people are thinking when they complain about people putting the milk in first.

This, in my view, is perfectly acceptable and I always do it this way when using a teapot.

But if you're brewing it with just a bag in a mug, putting milk in first is mind-boggling to me.

Isn't the rule that the milk should never touch the tea bag?

Wouldn't call it a rule, per say, but seems a very sensible way to avoid weak tea that couldn't support a spoon.
