Fucking hell, mate. Always put the water in the mug before the tea bag.

Next you'll tell me I'm supposed to but the milk in the bowl before the crumpets. Why I never!

Just make sure your clotted cream is on your spotted dick first then the baked beans, not the other way around! Unless you're in Rickmansworth in which case your clotted cream goes on your black pudding after your mushy peas.

You know, I just realized I don't have much of an appetite actually.

That's why you love jerk chicken.

and meatballs!

What difference does that make?

[-] Osprey@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

I find it makes the tea slightly weaker. It sometimes gets too strong too quickly when very hot water is poured directly on the tea bag.

most teas shouldn't be brewed in freshly boiled 100C water, but in roughly 90C

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago

That's roughly 194 degrees if your water is American.

You are fucking killing me in this thread

[-] shottymcb@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Well, you've just got to boil your water at 3000m then, it'll be perfect.

[-] Shepstr@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

Wait, I've always put the teabag in first.

[-] retrolasered@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

Teabag in, set cups aura, teabag out, water in, teabag in

[-] Maeve@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Is that because it cools enough to not scorch the tea? I always add tea last, even for a gallon of iced tea, it does seem to taste better; and I never press out the bags into anything other than the sink or my lantana.
