I’m an American who drinks tea. I’d love to hear from our distant countrymen on how accurate this is.
Not British, but in my experience... accurate.
I mean, I'm also not British and am roughly aligned with this spectrum myself.
Look, if you can tolerate the absolute nonsense you hear from Americans about how to make coffee you can deal with me having a spice rack specifically to make tea.
100% spot on. Microwaved tea is comparable I would say to microwaving a steak
It’s foul. Cup of Tannin, more like.
... wait, there are some americans who put the tea BAG in the microwave with the water?!?
I've MADE tea using a microwave before and it was ALWAYS "heating the water in the microwave, then adding the teabag to the hot water", it never even crossed my MIND to have the tea bag inside the microwave, and frankly that sounds AWFUL.
Maybe, who knows? Reheating tea though is absolutely foul. Worse than reheating coffee, somehow, and reheating coffee is pretty bad.
Why would you reheat tea in the first place? Just pour more boiling water in it.
Preaching meet choir.
Close enough to zero to be a rounding error, I'd bet.
For a start, you don't make tea in a kettle, you boil the water in that, then either pour into a mug or a teapot
I refuse to believe that Randall doesn't know how tea is actually made, so it has to be a meta-joke / troll.
That’s how I do it. Electric kettle. Glass.
Jokes on you, my kettle comes with a built in steeper, so I make my tea in the kettle!
