This American’s guide to making ‘British tea’ has united the country in horror

John Plunkett. Updated June 8th, 2020

You might remember a little while ago the American mum whose guide to ‘how we make tea in America’ was a profoundly distressing watch.

Well it turns out we didn’t know the half of it.

Because now she’s shared a guide to ‘making British tea’ and, well, watch this (tea drinkers of a sensitive disposition, look away now).

And it’s fair to say we’ve finally found something to unite the country in these troubled times.

Here are just some of the things people were saying about it.

Some things are so harrowing you just wish you could unsee them but know you never can

The way she says 'and that's how you make hot tea' at the end literally filled me with sickness and rage

Just in case anyone was wondering how to do it properly …

1. Buy a kettle (I'll pay for it because I can't take any more of these videos)
2. T-bag into empty mug.
3. Fill with BOILING water
3. Leave for three minutes
4. Stir for 30 seconds
5. Remove t-bag from mug
6. Add a SPLASH of milk
7. Sugar optional
8. Stir.
9. Drink 👍 https://t.co/VCC5fym413
