Thank you for the video.and i’am young (18) and i keep the tradition a life!!!!
Thanks so much for posting this video mate. I love a good Cuppa at least twice a day!
You pour way too much tea into the teacups…it is recommended to fill the teacups 3/4 with tea so then you can add the milk and sugar and stir it without spilling.

You should be careful. Water can get superheated in a microwave and spurt boiling water on you.
@GirLinTheRedScarf
You’re welcome.
@jomom6969 I think I bought it at Target.
Where did you get your kettle? It’s nice I like it.
I use the microwave to heat water that is already in the cup
@gerwiseman Glad to see you keeping up tradition. Love a good cup.
@SpeakaDaEnglish If you heard my opening comment, you would have heard that I am English by birth, so you shouldn’t be surprised that I have a teapot & kettle.
An American w/ an electric kettle and a tea pot. Impressive!
thank you very much for this video

Thank you very much for the video. I love learning things about food and culture from around the world. I always did wondered how a decent “cuppa tea” was done. I’m going to give it a try right now!
Excellent vid. I do love a good cup of tea although we don’t have a tea culture in Belgium. I drink 3 to 4 cups a day which is a lot around here
I think I’m going to put the kettle on !
Thats straight forward for Cup of Tea!
Now can we have instructions on how to make a propper Pot Noodle as i still cant get mine perfect.
I’ve never been anywhere near the UK and I make lovely tea. I learned it out of a book. My Uncle is from London and thinks my tea is Spot On.
@gerwiseman Yes, indeed it would. Since moving to Scotland 7 years ago, I’ve found that most Scots either like their tea really strong, stewed in fact or pathetically week and milky, but always with lots of sugar!
i like my tea strong, 2 sugars and some milk…
I’ve never heard of that method. I think that it would make the tea really strong.
Excellent demonstration, especially the inclusion of the tea strainer- i’m a loose leaf girl myself. For your information, my Scottish friends tell me that their grannies used to put the teapot in the oven for 5-10 mins to “stew” the tea. Not for the feint hearted. I dare you to try it!
I’ve been a regular hot tea drinker for a little over a year now, I average about 5 430ml cups a day and always with a meal. And not till now have I learned to make a proper cuppa. Thank you for the vid good sir, I’ll be adding a kettle to my Christmas list!

my grandmother use to use cheesecloth and loose tea, never tea bags.
I left the UK over 50 years ago, & customs may have changed since then. But back then we would have had lunch between 12.00 & 1.00, (with a cup of tea of course) then tea time was around 4.00 (16.00). In our family we often had tea with or after our dinner. Then sometimes another cup during the evening. We often drank up to 8 cups per day.
