I'm going to go to bat for our American friends and say that there's nothing wrong with boiling water in a microwave if that's the quickest water-boiling-method you've got. Boiling water is boiling water, who cares.
America's greater sin against tea drinking is their habit of letting the water cool down and then steeping a bag in the barely-hot water so that it makes a drink the colour of dehydrated urine. Why drink tea if you don't want to actually taste the tea?
But then on the other hand iced tea is nice, so they do redeem themselves a little.
Now this is serious! if there's one thing in this country that really bothers me Is the inability of yanks to make a good cup of tea Instructions are printed on the teabag But either they can't read Or they think it's a gag
Pour boiling water over the tea How simple and clear can the instructions be?
They bring you a cup with a lemon slice And an unopened tea bag beside it (how nice) And a pot of water and it may be hot But boiling it isn't so tea you have not
Why can't we Get our tea We need tea To set us free
It's boiling water that brings out tea's flavor With a dash of milk you've a real brew to savor They drink luke brown water that looks like gnat pee And it's got nothing to do with a good cup of tea
Pour boiling water over the tea How simple and clear Can the instructions be?
