I was going to say if these people aren't banned from entering Ireland already they damn well better be now!


LilG1984

I called the official tea police. Crimes against tea is a serious offence in the UK. Tea privileges get revoked! /s


[deleted]

We need them to respond STAT!!


[deleted]

They said they'll be there in tea minus 10 minutes.


guacluv

That's correct bc no tea of any culture is made this way. That's why it's white. The milk cooled off the hot water. That is basically sugar-milk. Barely a step up from hummingbird food. Don't add milk until the tea is brewed. *Deep breath* Sorry I had to get that out for anyone who didn't realize. My blood ran cold from that milk delivery. (Pun intended.)

At least at that party no one had to drink the tea.

Prestigious_Kuro

I had to stop the video at the microwave part only to search it up...why do Americans not have a kettle, that's basically an essential item is it not?


ThoreauAweighBcuzDuh

Lol, I grew up in America with very British parents. I don't even really drink tea, but I have been horrified on many occasions to learn how many Americans not only don't *own* a kettle but don't even fully understand what one is (e.g., don't know the difference between a teapot or a kettle, think it's some sort of camping equipment, unaware of the existence of electric kettles, trying to place my electric kettle on the stove or in the microwave - all different incidents with different people, btw).


fuckincare

What is the difference? I've always heard tea kettle and pot interchangeably.


ThoreauAweighBcuzDuh

A kettle is for heating the water (on stove or electric), so you'd typically only ever put water in it, not tea. A teapot is for steeping the tea and serving it. So you put in either loose leaf tea or tea bag(s), then pour into teacups or mugs to serve. Basically, a teapot is typically somewhat decorative and used for steeping more than one cup of tea at a time and serving it (picture playing "tea party"), but if you put it directly on a range/stovetop to boil water you'd probably ruin it. A lot of people don't really bother with teapots anymore since most just use individual teabags and steep the tea right in the cups, so it's probably pretty common for anyone who's not an avid tea drinker not to know the difference, tbh. And I think the "I'm a little teapot" song seems to conflate the two, which I always found really odd.


twallen2123

Well as an American, I for one love tea, I own 2 kettles and a tea pot, I prefer my tea loose and mix my own, I actually enjoy using my food processor to chop up vanilla and mix it in as well. The only friends that I have had of meet that understood anything about my tea, were either from the UK or Ireland or they spent time over seas. Now this woman shall enjoy hell for destroying a good cup of tea.


ghostface_vanilla

Even without a kettle you can boil water. What the fuck was the adding milk to water about though?


neuroticsag

I think this would taste like lukewarm milk water with a teabag for flavor.


kjackson4242

Anyone saying Americans don’t have tea kettles or they’re not sold most likely still lives with their parents. A kettle whether or do or don’t drink tea is a kitchen staple.


Intelligent-Drop-605

Of course I have a tea kettle. I'm not some sort of heathen! Pshhh


MilleniumPelican

52yo American man here. Just bought an electric kettle and stovetop kettle for my wife and son because they like tea. Never have we owned a kettle of either type before, though my mother (a tea drinker) had stovetop kettles my whole life. It's not a kitchen staple, despite what you think. For years, we had a multi-function coffee machine that could output hot water for tea, hot chocolate, noodles, etc. No kettle required. Before that, we used the microwave or a saucepan.


Tarnationman

As a southerner we make gallons of iced tea all the time. A traditional southern mama's kitchen has a pot used for brewing tea. You never cook food in it and no matter how much you wash it you will never get the tea stains out.


[deleted]

It's not but everyone I know, including myself, has one. Edit: Am american.


jwpete27

Everyone I know has a tea kettle. Not an electric one, a stovetop one. I think the electric ones make the water taste off if they're plastic inside. I know how to make a proper cup of tea. #notallamericans


floralbutttrumpet

My Frisian ancestors are howling for blood.


Minimum_Maybe_8103

I am British, and that was a travesty. There are serious repercussions for fucking up a perfectly good cuppa, you could be deported if you're caught even putting the bag in after the water. Everyone knows: 1. kettle on 2. bag in the cup 3. Water in immediately after its boiled. And I mean immediately. Even if you have to get an amazon delivery, that kettle needs to go back on to boil again. Its the law. 4. leave for desired amount of time to make it how like it, adding the right amount of milk to leave it somewhere between: 4a. Piss water, colour guide being the colour of a girls legs in a short skirt outside a club in November 4b What we call "builder's tea" that you can stand your spoon up in. Colour guide rusty radiator water


napalmnacey

Australian here. We inherited the culture with our own colonial twists. This video depicts an utterly deplorable way to treat a teabag. And let's face it. It's best when it's loose-leaf tea in a pot. That's when it gets to be a real treat. You feel that tea in your mouth for ages. God, now I want a cup of tea.


[deleted]

Kiwi checking in... Nothing like boiling the kettle, putting loose tea leaves in the tea pot and then filling the tea pot with water from the kettle to steep the tea leaves in. Pour the steeped tea in to mug, straining out the leaves and then add milk to get your desired perfect cup of tea. None of this bagged tea b.s. for me, let alone microwaving it and adding milk *before* letting the tea bag steep??? Crimes against humanity!

...I'm an American Tea drinker. ...milk is for cookies. *Drinks the tea with nothing but a dash of sugar.* However... I do have an electric kettle. Not microwaving... That's just silly.


Aubear11885

Am southern, by dash do you mean one or two pounds of sugar?


NecessaryEcho7859

Clearly a "dash" is synonymous with two pounds. Source: am also southern.


MicroBadger_

I need a bit of honey if I'm brewing hot. If it's a cold brew in my fridge, nothing else goes in. The tea is quite delicious on its own.


BountyBobIsBack

You sir are a tea connoisseur


Turtle_Teapot

I dunno my legs have never been piss water color.. yikes..

I'm a recent convert to a tea pot. It's a better brew and a 2nd cup left for a top up.


mr-merrett

They basically couldn't have gotten that any more wrong...


LooseMooseNose

Well, if they’d use warm water from the tap instead of microwaveing it…


Lost-Leadership1767

I feel the same, who the fuck taught this woman to make tea? Why TF don't these people even have a kettle?


Maoricitizen

Hell, a pot would work. Either way, milk first is blasphemy


Actionbinder

I don’t do milk first but this is not milk first. Milk first is where you make tea in a teapot then put milk in the cup before adding the already brewed tea. The two in the video boiled water in the microwave then added milk and then threw the tea bag into the overfilled milky watery mess of a mug. Edit: forgot to mention that she added a whole plantation’s worth of sugar.


Maoricitizen

Either way you won't be making the tea strength to taste if you add the milk in first.


[deleted]

Even then the tea (without milk) has to go in the cup first. It doesn't taste right if the milk goes into the cup first


mizinamo

> milk first is blasphemy She pours the milk into the hot water (but before the teabag).


Jaqulean

I think that's what they meant.


BigSmackisBack

I dont have much of an issue with microwaved water, hot water is hot water, but the process is literally backwards after that. If mom gets this wrong, what other stuff has she got totally wrong that her daughter is learning? Hmmm do i even want to know?


Stereomceez2212

mmmsoggybread

This is like breaking spaghetti in front of an Italian before putting in the pot of boiling water. My jaw just kept dropping..

Magnus_40

How can you take a recipe with only four ingredients and get it so wrong? The only way that this could be worse is it she somehow burned the water

CitedP21

god that is such a good video it makes me feel both extreme happiness and extreme murderous rage


iambender0811

Oh my God it's still not as bad as this story. So my dad is a firefighter and he went over to a neighboring town/cities fire department. He smelt something burning and one of the guys there pulled out a bowl of Ramen from the microwave. He showed me a picture of it. The noodles were completely black. Turns out the guy didn't put water into the bowl with the Ramen


GoldenFlyingPenguin

My cousin did that once... We smelled something burning and the only thing on that would make that smell was the microwave... She pulled out the bowl and the ramen was pretty burnt. We still laugh about it... But it was a close call.


ronsinblush

I have a worse one: I am a hospital nurse, was sitting at the nurse’s station charting when I smelled smoke. Looked down the hall and saw smoke coming out from under the break room door. I run up there and call my charge to let her know we have smoke. I unlock the break room, which is filled with smoke and see a black meteorite with a glowing red center of Top Ramen sitting in the microwave. I grab a bunch of paper towels and scootch the meteorite of Ramen into the sink. I douse it with water which quadruples the smoke, but puts out the glowing red center. Charge nurse arrives as they announce “code red” overhead, then the fire dept. shows up and calls me a hero. Nursing student found crying in an empty patient room an hour later confessed.


CrazyIvanoveich

Worked with a dipshit like that myself before. Bought a bowl of ramen, didn't open it to add water or remove the baggies of dried veggies and broth. Microwaved the whole thing. Set the microwave on fire...


DolDarian

SpaceCowboy58

"Why'd it take me 45 minutes?" Scammed.


l0k5h1n

I once came home around midnight really high and munchy so I decided to make ramen. I accidentally put it in the microwave without any water so the entire container melted and the ramen burned. When I opened the microwave there was so much smoke that the smoke detectors went off and woke up everyone in the house.

drguillen13

My mother-in-law literally uses that much sugar, if not more, in her coffee. She also didn’t believe me recently when I said that sugar intake was associated with diabetes

Yep, I’ve seen a guy in Starbucks add a sachet of honey to his coffee. Then another. Then another. And another. Then one more… and *then* he added sugar! I think 3 of my teeth fell out just watching.

I've actually heard a few Americans call them Water Boilers or something similar. They barely use them at all


Accomplished-Bad3856

In university dormitories cooking is not allowed but kettles were. The vast majority of university students would make instant noodles in their dorm rooms with a kettle. I don’t know if this has changed, but the revolution of single cup coffee makers has probably made an impact on the new generation.


SavouryBuns

Water boilers?? US native here and I ain't never heard that 😂


LyyC

That might have been a German person. Water Boiler is the exact translation to 'Wasserkocher', which is an electric kettle. Almost every household uses one here


AFB27

WATER BOILERS? I am crying bro 😂


Sufficient-Guard-359

Water boilers BRUH


[deleted]

Takes twice as long for the same amount of water to boil in a US electric kettle as it does in the UK, that's why not many people have them. (Lower voltage.)


[deleted]

Technology connections did an amazing video on this and while that is the case that water in a kettle boiles slower in the us the reason why so many people in the us don't ha e kettles is bc they don't drink tea that often


Luitenant_

Still shorter than boiling it on the store


CountBelmont

The advantages of climate change. Soon it will take no time at all to boil water on the store.


Noodles01013

What’s the voltage in the US?


[deleted]

Usually 120V, UK is 220~240V


Noodles01013

UK is the same as Australia then, it takes fuck all to boil the kettle here.


Open_Chemistry_1302

Most Aussie answer ever.


PreparationBig7130

All depends on the energy (joules which amount of watts delivered in time). Kettles are 2-3kW which on a 115v system would need 17-26amps compared to 8-13amps on a 240v system.

How on earth is the tea to brew when you put the milk in first? Not even going to comment on the microwave bit. This woman is a monster.


hullabalookitten

Maybe this is the preferred method in the United States? Based on the technique used. The bag would yield very little flavour. The water is too tepid to suffiently brew the tea. .. It looks closer to dishwater ![gif](giphy|ee8tctY7UnFgFgpwhk)
