Wait 5 minutes? what wants lukewarm tea?
This is actually the recommended time to brew on the side of most tea bag boxes.
I'm not a food snob by any means. I'm fine with the microwave but why are you putting in the milk at that point.
Microwaving water by itself, while not the best way to do it, is perfectly fine by me, microwaving it with the tea already in, blegh.
You're also not supposed to mix green tea with straight boiling or near boiling water. I believe its supposed to be a step down from that before actually adding the green tea to the water. Don't want to burn it.
You are all wrong.
Water, cardamom pods and fennel seeds in a pot on the gas stove top.
Bring to a boil.
Add the tea leaves, let it simmer for a bit.
Add the milk, heat until the milk rises up then turn the gas down.
Simmer for a couple more minutes.
Pour into mug through tea strainer.
Easy.
Edit: I forgot the cloves.
Not so easy after all.

Phew glad it wasn't just me. You need the water to hit the teabag when its at its hottest.
Seeing Brits in London get uppity and condescending when I'm drinking some oolong or pu-erh is incredible.
I feel like it comes out unevenly so you have to stir it and then sometimes microwave it again.
And never did since it's not like they invented tea to begin with.
True. On the rare occasion I have tea, I get it to about 200/205 F. Also, I just realized how some people will react by me talking Fahrenheit in a tea thread but oh well.

- Add milk or sugar to one's taste
- Remove Teabag using teaspoon
- Enjoy fluid using mouth
- YOU MUST SLURP
- Stick a biscuit in it if you feel fancy
- When finished, bash chest with clenched fist whilst screaming GOD SAVE THE QUEEN
This is what I'm surprised about. Never heard of milk in tea before. Granted growing up in the south, tea was "boil water and tea bags and put like 3 pounds of sugar in, drink cold" so my opinion is pretty worthless.
I uh, just get hot tap water and put a tea bag in it, a little sugar, mix it, seep a little, and I'm good? I don't drink tea often these days...
Excuse me, but the American way to make tea is to dump it in salt water while cosplaying as Native Americans.
Let me share my tea recipe.

Tips for enjoying tea once made:
- Dip a Ginger Nut in, let it soak up the tea and enjoy watching the dry, brittle inner structure soften
- Dip another Ginger Nut in
- More Ginger Nuts
- Oh no, you ran out of tea, better make some more
- Well, it'd be a shame to waste all these Ginger Nuts, though
- Oh no more tea
- Now you're just eating the Ginger Nuts raw, you animal
- Do you have TWO Ginger Nuts on the go at once?
- This is anarchy. Pure chaos
- OK, you've finished the packet. Time to reintegrate into polite society, if you still remember how. The things you've seen...

Tea Leaves?? Are you offering me a drink or telling me my future???
"An American TikTok user going by the name of Michelle from North Carolina posted a video showing how to make what she describes as "hot tea", which entails mixing milk with powdered lemonade, cinnamon, cloves, sugar and Tang, which turns out to be a soft drink."
Microwave is really inefficient, as well as taking a lot longer to boil water than a modern kettle. Uses a lot more power to do so (relatively).
Make sure to dip your custard cream biscuits in your cuppa you bastards.
There's no need for old lady biscuits
The video is just a troll isn't it? The article describes her as a wind up merchant
Having to rely on a microwave to heat a cup of tea is just so grim to me

Yeah. There's a whole lot of different ways to make it in cultures around the world.The masala chai method might give them all aneurysms.
This video is stupid/seems like a troll, but what's really stupid to me is having a "right" way to make it.
