How to Make a Perfect Welsh Cup of Tea (Paned o De)

Rosie Jones, a British comedian with cerebral palsy, joked on a panel show that she doesn't stir her tea because by the time she can manage to get it to her mouth she's already shaken it up enough.

If u boil your water in the nuker, I will find you and read you all four lines of the Mabinogi in horribly pronounced Welsh.

As an American who grew up with microwaved tea from bags - this is all spot on. (obviously) I'm now an avid tea drinker and it really does taste better from a kettle and steeped for 5+ minutes (I do 8). I also use one scoop per cup plus one for the pot, but I have a massive pot for my large family. Thanks for a fun little video Jimmy, please don't feel guilty for not doing something more academic.

I love this. More silly videos sprinkled amongst the well-researched history would not go amiss ❤

Mmmm tea. The best way to get through a low point in the day.

I have an auntie in Scotland who makes tea in a wonderful way- it’s a spiritual experience!! I appreciate your taking it seriously, as it should be☕️

As even an accursed American, I know this is THE way to a proper cup of tea. I'm not a barbarian, and drink Lipton, after all.😂

My lovely husband always says that tea solves everything up to death. I hope your tea helped your week!

That's proper tea! Everything else is anarchy

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.

man I've been feeling so crap today and for some reason this made me so happy!

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.❤

Love your wonderful Welsh sense of humor. Have a good week.

This was delightful! I’m in America, where the majority of people drink coffee over tea, but I drink tea and I love it. This was an excellent education on how to properly do it!

Your timing is impeccable. I just sat down with a cup of tea to watch some youtube, and this was the first thing I saw.

I was chuckling the whole way through this. In fact it was probably the most amusing thing I’ve seen all day. Thanks for this, you are now officially my most classy content creator! 😂

Oh my goodness, all my life I’ve been making a perfect Welsh cup of tea without knowing it. And without a single drop of Welsh heritage! I’m happy that you addressed several of my pet peeves - heating water in the microwave, not brewing long enough, and a couple others. But seriously, I loved the humor. Please do feel free to make an occasional “silly” post like this, it was great fun to watch!

Solidarity for the difficult and disappointing week you've had. For what it's worth, this silly video helped me to recenter myself after a challenging week of my own. Thank you for posting it.

The whirly milk cloud is so pretty when you've brewed it nice and dark. This was the right level of silly to help my headache. Thank you very much.

As a German who lived in Liverpool for a while, I had to laugh for five minutes straight. What an absolute banger of a video, well done
