WTF about that "method" makes it 'British' tea? The milk? And, yea - adding milk to hot water and THEN dropping in a tea bag is sacrilegious.

I used to work with someone who would drop a tea bag into a mug of hot water, and a second later take the bag out and throw it away. It barely had time to even tint the water. I asked her why she didn't just drink hot water.

9. One minute in the microwave is not nearly long enough to make that water very hot at all.

I don't see how she is making tea with water that might have gotten lukewarm at best. The whole thing is just lazy and bound not to work from beginning to end.

I prefer coffee with hot chocolate mixed into it. Even better if it is iced coffee with chocolate mixed in. I wish they would make a coffee/chocolate milk shake or ice cream. If they ever do, buy stock in it. I'm all in. I will probably go broke buying it and indulging.

11. She is an American living in UK. She posted a video on how she makes tea.

I guess she got creamed by Britons on her tea recipe, so she responded by lampooning the British way of tea making.

Noone actually knows what Earl Grey tastes like. They’d have to switch to covfefe if they did.

17. I wanna know why this woman is getting so much attention?

She joined on March 4th 2020 and has tweeted twice.
Both times it has been about tea!!
She only has 4 followers.

The first time, she tweeted about tang/cinnamon instant tea and now this. The tang/cinnamon tea is on epicurious and if epicurious tweets it, it probably would not get much attention, but when she creates a Tik Tok video of it, it becomes viral. The world is strange.

I wanna know how she got so much freaking attention? (No one notices my tweets..LOL)
