Overview
- An American woman living in the UK said making the perfect cup of tea is the fastest way to a British man's heart as she prepared for a "very important" date.
- In her TikTok, she put a teabag in a mug, added cold water, microwaved it, then stirred in a teaspoon of sugar and some milk.
- The creator, who has about 86,000 followers, posted the clip after watching YouTube tutorials to practice her approach.
- Commenters criticized the method as un-British and urged her to use a kettle, with some calling microwave tea "criminal."
- Yorkshire Tea replied "Not the microwave!" and UK tabloids including the Mirror and Daily Star amplified the exchange on November 5.
