No, of course we don’t microwave the mug WITH the teabag in it. We microwave the teabag separately.

I’m an American who drinks tea. I’d love to hear from our distant countrymen on how accurate this is.
100% spot on. Microwaved tea is comparable I would say to microwaving a steak
It’s foul. Cup of Tannin, more like.
… wait, there are some americans who put the tea BAG in the microwave with the water?!?
I’ve MADE tea using a microwave before and it was ALWAYS “heating the water in the microwave, then adding the teabag to the hot water”, it never even crossed my MIND to have the tea bag inside the microwave, and frankly that sounds AWFUL.
Maybe, who knows? Reheating tea though is absolutely foul. Worse than reheating coffee, somehow, and reheating coffee is pretty bad.
Why would you reheat tea in the first place? Just pour more boiling water in it.
Preaching meet choir.
For a start, you don’t make tea in a kettle, you boil the water in that, then either pour into a mug or a teapot
That’s how I do it. Electric kettle. Glass.
Not British, but in my experience… accurate.
I mean, I’m also not British and am roughly aligned with this spectrum myself.
Look, if you can tolerate the absolute nonsense you hear from Americans about how to make coffee you can deal with me having a spice rack specifically to make tea.
What nonsense do you hear about making coffee?
Everyone has their own way, but there’s no wrong way.
I make coffee by drinking hot water, then chewing whole coffee beans and swallowing them. I then wash it down with milk.
Eh, chocolate-covered coffee beans aren’t bad, if they’re reasonably fresh. That’s not too different.
Really the only way you can do coffee wrong is if you boil it.
I got a free bag of those from the shop where I buy my coffee once. They’re really nice. I absentmindedly worked my way through the bag that afternoon, wondered why I was feeling so ill, and then realised I had consumed about two pots of coffee in pure bean form
