A lady wants to help other people and shows on TikTok how she makes British tea. What she explains, however, makes many Britons glow.

  • Making tea shouldn't be a science.
  • But the British have a certain pride when it comes to preparing the hot drink.
  • An American now seems to have offended this pride.

Cultural differences make the world more colorful, but sometimes also cause irritation. In the case of an American TikTok user, the British feel on the tie, and the lady had the best intentions.

Tea video on TikTok makes the British shiver

In her videos, user jchelle36 lets viewers share her life in Great Britain and often shows herself and her family how they try typical British food. Apparently there was also a need to see the American make tea * the British way. A wish that the woman was happy to fulfill, but with disastrous results that triggered a storm of indignation.

Milk, tea and sugar: "I have never felt treated so disrespectfully"

It starts very harmless: "Everyone wanted to see how I make hot tea, so" English tea ", so let's make tea today," says the woman in the video, which she also shared on Twitter. And then you can already see the first faux pas from a British perspective. Jchelle36 chooses the traditional tea kettle and the microwave to heat the cup with the tea water. At this point, British TikTok users came up with dramatic insights into their soul life: Some replied that they were "dying inside", others "crying" or felt "never treated so disrespectfully" in their lives.

But it gets worse and this time the daughter makes the "unforgivable" missteps: First she pours a lot of milk * into the tea water, then she puts the tea bag in and lets the whole thing surprisingly follow.

So you shouldn't make tea from the British point of view

With all the "tea horror" a user can see something good in the video: "She has achieved the incredible and united the country again." United in horror at this tea video.

And that's how the British really make their tea

  • Boil water in a teakettle.
  • Put the tea bag in the teacup.
  • Fill it up to the brim with the hot water.
  • Let the tea steep for about two minutes, or longer if you like it stronger.
  • Squeeze the teabag over the cup and remove it.
  • Now add a dash of milk and some sugar to taste.
  • Finished.
