Panad o de! A cup of tea! The ultimate drink. A perfect blend of caffeine for a boost, the most delicious flavour known to human kind, and it's a nice colour as well.
You may think you know how to make the perfect cup of tea, but let me tell you: the way you see it done in this video is categorically the only correct and legally acceptable procedure.
A RU-vid, nay, a global first; this video will walk you through to dos, don'ts, and whatisgoingons of making a panad da: a nice cup of tea.
Or something like that anyway. It's been a long week.

As the child of a Welsh mother who put milky tea in our baby bottles, I can scarcely recall a day without it. Tea makes the morning faceable, the bad bearable, and resets my status to ‘human’ after questionable choices. But it’s also the reason I have a cupboard solely dedicated to tea. My partner learned of it early on, and accepted it without question. That is how I knew our relationship would work.

@crow-jane Месяц назад

Tea is a medium through which low-key domestic magic is worked, I am convinced. There’s this mad Scot who lives down in Texas and is, with his American wife, resurrecting a 20th century-built castle, the footage of the project being posted on YT. He closes every video with this; “where there is tea there is hope, and where there is hope, anything is possible”. This man is going to bring a folly of a building back to life through the sheer power of strong cups of Yorkshire Gold. It’s an astonishingly beautiful thing to watch.

Tea doesn't fix all ills, but it sure can help make them seem more manageable. Thank you for the video, and hope your future weeks are better. I've got a 1.15L Sadler in which I make my daily lapsang souchong and it does have a "disgusting" coat of tea residue. I keep the leaves in until I'm done drinking it. No milk, no lemon. I also play chicken with how much I fill the tea pot, and occasionally get tea floods on my white desk. These then dry into some very neat patterns and make my desk look more exciting. I also have a whistling kettle - if I had one that beeped politely, I wouldn't ever get tea made. I need my kettle to scream at me until I take care of it. But a lot of people think lapsang souchong is stinky, so when the office was a thing, I had to have it in a travel mug with a good seal or people would complain.

They since started again, but I haven't gone back because I'm still mad, even after 8 years. I found a new dealer very quickly, but my world has not been the same since. I don't like to have to think about the possibility of not having my daily lapsang souchong.

My daily tea is darjeeling. I apparently commit a crime, though, as I only steep it for 4 min and drink it with a touch of honey and no milk. I'm just not classy enough. I also have microwaved water for tea, though in my defense, it was in the middle of the night during residency. Let's just say this was not the most questionable decision made during that time of my life😊 Seriously, though, this video lightened my day. Thank you.❤

@beth12svist Месяц назад

I also drink darjeeling, and steep for an even shorter time. So maybe it's actually a darjeeling thing, and not just my stomach thing. Maybe darjeeling is so robust that this shorter time is quite enough.

I know people who microwave their water for tea. I don't drink their tea. I love them but they are wrong. My house has very very limited counter space so we don't have enough for an electric kettle. We boil it in a steel kettle on the stovetop. I hope that is acceptable, for Americans. May the coming weeks be so much better for you, Jimmy. With many a good a panad da, delicious biscuits, and excellent happenings in your life.

@SunnyMorningPancakes Месяц назад

I - a British person - use a whistling kettle on the hob. The difference between the microwave and both of these other options is that if you actually get water to boil in microwave it is not going to stay in the thing you are boiling it in. So most microwaved tea water isn't boiling.

One ball should way about 30 grams. So sorry your week has been crap, but so glad you're willing to share rather than keep it to yourself. Glad I deg, Eric

Korean "Binch"es are fantastic biscuts for tea (and hilariously named). Warming the pot makes so much sense!

pecan sandies are my favorite tea cookies

Thanks for clarifying the issue with the steeping time. Following the instructions on the package always left me with a cup of tea that tastes somewhat like wash water. I was starting to think I just didn't like tea anymore. I'm off to follow your advice for my first good cup in a long time 😄 ❤❤❤❤

This was silly, and also exactly what I needed today.

This is different and silly, and I UTTERLY ADORE IT. Thank you, and I hope next week goes better for you.

I even got the fancy kettle with the temperature read-out to make sure my water is correct for green tea, pour-over coffee, or black tea NO MICROWAVE!!

It was quite enjoyable. Thank you for the side trip.

I love this tea ceremony! Can't stand tea bag in a mug...aaarrggghhh! I also warm my porcelain mug (with it's own cover ).....have a great cuppa! ❤ from Newfoundland! Ginger biscuits are a must!

My father’s parents were Scots. This is how he taught me to make tea and I taught my children and husband. Occasionally my husband pours the kettle when it is not at a full boil and I can tell immediately. Thank you for the silly video and lovely memories.

Caveat: If you want to make green tea, do cool the water after boiling. A green tea is much nicer if brewed at 70°C than at 95°. A white tea can be brewed at both temperatures and will vary in intensity then.

Of course.🫖

Exactly the video I needed to see, Thank you Jimmy! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (Got the big sads today and you have helped immensely)

Ah, another person with a tea cupboard! My respect for you has increased. Though personally I tend to gravitate more towards oolong than black - black tea is my second favorite though.

I will admit that before this video I was one of those heinous people that squeezed the tea bag. Thanks Jimmy for teaching me the errors of my ways, I will never do it again 😬

Ah, just what I needed right now ☕️

Thank you for making this beautiful silly video. I hope it's making brought you joy in your difficult times. My favourite tea biscuit is the gingernut. I do love a good chocolate digestive, but I do prefer them with buttercream icing.
