WTF is this string squeeze technique?!
Squidge the bag against the side of the cup with the spoon.
I could relate and have experienced at some point in my life all of these issues except that squeezing method. I personally just let tea bag in cup for 5 min or so and then squeeze it with my fingers when it is not boiling hot.
What now? Why is anyone squeezing a tea bag? Is this some sort of catholic, I deserve to be miserable kind of thing? Why ruin your tea with fines and bitter tannins?
I like it because it reduces bin juice.
But I like the tannins!
I'm too lazy to remove the teabag, what now Brits
££££££££££££££££££££££££££ As long as you're drinking it black (no milk), when you're finished, you can just pour on more hot water, and get a free drink. Your free drink will be slightly weaker than the previous one. You can then repeat this until all flavour is gone. ££££££££££££££££££££££££££
It's disturbing to hear, but at least laziness is an ethos I can get behind.
But the ultimate question is, will this be a case where the username checks out?
Otherwise the teabags drips all over the surface!
If you must know, most of the time I don't use a teabag. I use loose leaf in a teapot. No squeezing required.
Maybe I enjoy the misery.
Welp my super catholic mom squeezes her teabags until not a single drop more comes out. It's awful. I never squeeze a teabag!
