No, of course we don't microwave the mug WITH the teabag in it. We microwave the teabag separately.

For a start, you don't make tea in a kettle, you boil the water in that, then either pour into a mug or a teapot

I refuse to believe that Randall doesn't know how tea is actually made, so it has to be a meta-joke / troll.

That’s how I do it. Electric kettle. Glass.

Jokes on you, my kettle comes with a built in steeper, so I make my tea in the kettle!
