I'm ngl I have tea semi regularly, and I put the teabag in with the water to the microwave. The method works, I don't see the problem.

Firstly, does the water not go all weird and frothy? Secondly, burn the heretic!

I don't think I've ever had this issue. Here's the full method.

Put teabag and spoonful of sugar into mug, pour maybe 2cm of water into mug. Nuke for about a minute. Let sit for a bit. Agitate the teabag a bit to get more of the delicious leaf juice out. Chuck out the tea bag. Pour in milk. Nuke for 20 secs. Done.

I think I'm going to be sick.

Seriously though, that sounds like a very different method to just pouring boiling water on the bag and then adding milk and sugar. Have you done both and compared?

[-] scarilog@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I have not, I'll give this method a try when I get a chance.

Did you enjoy your new cup of tea?

[-] scarilog@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

It's been 3 weeks, haha, but yeah I got around to giving it a try. The verdict is... It's basically the same. I will be continuing to do it the way that I did before since it's easier, but I have enjoyed this experience of having my horizons broadened :D

I am a bit surprised, but I suppose for science I should really try following your method and seeing how it compares. I'll report back if I survive the ordeal.
