    Fun fact: Tea Time is such a universal practice in Britain that their power grids actually have to account for the spike in consumption from everyone heating up their kettles at once
  • I have been brewing my chai entirely wrong ig. I let the flat bag soak for too long, squeeze it once it's done, and add too much milk honey and cinnamon Update: I tried making tea the ideal way (as best I could with the supplies I have) and WOW it is so much better
  • @RainbowAceOfSpades
    As a Chinese person, I agree with MatPat, the perfect amount of milk in tea is no milk.
  • @smartman2593
    Fun fact: The idea of a tea bag was created by accident. It used to come in big blocks that they would just shave off a little at a time and long story short someone started selling it in a bag to transport it and the customers didn't realize they were supposed to open the bag

    Matpat: "warm leaf water" My brain: Uncle Iroh: "How could a member of my own family say something so horrible!?"
  • @picky228
    MatPat: Now I poouur the milk in. Steph and Tom: *visible pain*
  • @GiveMeCats
    15:44 this so adorable!! I love it when Matt gets so happy😭 Also I love Tom not just because he's british but also because he makes small comments that are hilariou

    Fun info for Chinese traditional tea: For good luck, when making the tea pot and cups, the leftover clay was used to make a tea pet, which you pour some tea on as a sign of good luck. There's color changing ones too to test the temperature of your tea, but it is a long term tradition. Plus, some ceramics will soak the scent of the tea (as mentioned by Matpat during the cup phase), so using the same tea regularly will cause your tea pet to smell delightful

    Iroh: Spittake "This 'tea' is just hot leaf juice!" Zuko: "Uncle, that's what all tea is." Iroh: "How could a member of my own family say something so horrible?!"
  • @user-gw2sn7oq4l
    my boy Matthew Patthew said "Queen Tea" when RoyalTEA was sitting right there
  • @Rain_zhong
    I agree with mat's "best milk is no milk" as I've never put milk in tea before
  • @mas8705
    Nice to see Matpat got a special guest on this episode so that Steph isn't the only one suffering the entire time from her husband's wacky antics.
  • OMG, I had to stop at: "This channel is built on the premise that I can overthink anything and write it off as a business expense." That one line is just too good.
  • @ah_lex_us
    I’m going back and watching food theories that I’ve missed (there isn’t many of them) and um… All I could think of the entire time… “CHAI TEA!? BRO CHAI MEANS TEA! YOURE SAYING TEA TEA! WOULD I ASK YOU FOR A COFFEE COFFEE WITH ROOM FOR CREAM CREAM!?”
  • Iroh: This tea is nothing more than hot leaf juice! Zuko: Uncle, that's what all tea is. Iroh: How could a member of my own family say something so horrible?
  • Matt: ‘Tea is nothing more than hot leaf juice’ Steph: ‘How could a member of my family say something so horrible?’
  • @Lixryn
    "Best amount of milk: is no milk." I completely agree you, Mat.

    This is by far one of my favorite episodes. Well done! I’m saving it for a few months down the road when the weather relents and it’s not 83 F in my room at 11 PM…much less the mid day heat. 😂🥵 Cheers!
