... yet another video post?



So me being here again.

I do stuff like this when bored.

Might do it more often unless you guys get sick of seeing my ugly mug.

By which I mean my face, not my tea mug.

Bitches don't diss my tea mug.

Yeah, we mostly use pots in my house too. ^^; If I'm just making for myself, I usually use the microwave, but how would you do it in England? :O

Mi... cro... wave...

*watches her grandmother turn in her grave*

1: get teabag and mug.
2: put teabag in mug.
3: boil kettle
4: pour hot water onto teabag in mug.
5: stir if you're impatient, pressing the teabag against the walls of the cup to get the tea out.
6: throw away tea bag.
7: add milk or sugar, however much you want. (I like it with lots of milk and two sugars because I'm a baby.)
8: drink.

Simple <3 Most people know how to make tea even if they don't drink it. It's a hospitality thing.

ORZ I'm sorry!! I drink coffee more, and that's the one I brew properly. *hides*

Oooh~ Thanks for the process! Lol, actually that's how my dad makes it. I suppose I should follow he makes it then. Err, I don't think I've ever added milk or sugar to tea. O.o Are you supposed to?

>>; I'll have to see if there's a stove in the hall at uni otherwise I'm sticking to my coffeepot and microwave.

XD it's fine my gran was just really fussy about tea.

You don't have to, some people drink it straight black, but just as many have it with milk. I know you don't add milk to ice tea but same principle, I guess? It's all about choice really. Even fewer people have sugar in their tea, I'm just a sweet-tooth. And adding loads of sugar is seen to be babyish so I try to cut down when I'm in polite company but bleh.

Why not buy an electric kettle? Way easier than a stove one.

My mother and grandmother are the /exact/ same way about coffee. XDD

Huh. Yeah, I take my coffee regular, which is sort of babyish, I suppose (it seems the same stereotype is at work, the more sugar you add the more childish it seems). With tea? I dunno. I started off drinking green tea, and never put anything in it, so when I switched to breakfast tea I never added anything either.

Because ones that aren't crap cost 35 pounds-ish over here. ><; Even the crap ones are about 15 pounds. /is a broke uni student.
