WTF is this string squeeze technique?!
Squidge the bag against the side of the cup with the spoon.
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'm too lazy to remove the teabag, what now Brits
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?
I like it because it reduces bin juice.
Welp my super catholic mom squeezes her teabags until not a single drop more comes out. It's awful. I never squeeze a teabag!
Maybe I enjoy the misery.
But I like the tannins!
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.
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.
