Who the gently caress boils the water with the teabag in? That is not british.

I don't know anyone British that has ever done this. I've known South Asians who have boiled teabags in an electric kettle to make tea.

Actually thinking about it maybe I do know someone who has boiled teabags in water in a can over a fire outdoors, but that's far from normal.

I bet Corbyn did.

You put the tea in a tea strainer in the teapot and you pour the hot tea into the teapot. You don't boil the actual water with the tea in it. And tea bags are always the lowest quality tea, you buy loose tea and portion it yourself.

As for a podcast, I'd definitely listen to it if it's a cross between TL;DR news (in that it has up to date information) and A Different Bias (as in that it dares to take sides), but without all the "like and subscribe" and commercials that comes with Youtube.

I'm not sure what you think people in Britain are doing with tea but what? Yes, you put tea in a bag or a strainer or whatever and then you pour hot water over it.

British people do a lot of terrible things, but I've never known anyone to boil a teapot.

Worst crime against tea though is reheating it in the microwave after it goes cold. My dad does that all the time. Sometimes several times with the same cup.

Wait do you mean a tea urns like


Because that's the closest that I can think of to boiling the water with teabags in, except they don't boil, they just heat and keep temperature, and I've only ever seen them in industrial places and old school/church/county halls. Nobody's doing that at home.

sometimes you're busy as poo poo and realise you hosed up and it got cold nd you're still busy but you need that fucker to bring you back to life so you run it to the microwave and know what you're doing is degenerate and wrong but you do it anyway

It doesn't actually make any difference if you slap it in the microwave for 15 sec

Buttered toast soaked in tea doesn't taste too bad but drinking it afterwards is pretty vile.

Do you put your milk on instant coffee first to stop the water from burning it?

Do you cafetiere? Aeropress? Percolate? Sieve over a pan? Drip Filter?

Lol at "just" drink coffee like the process is any less open to interpretation.
