Making My English Boyfriend Tea

Making my English boyfriend a cup of tea the American way

What it means

A woman makes her English boyfriend tea by mixing milk and a teabag in a glass mug and heating it in the microwave. He tries it on the sofa, recoils, and says it is disgusting and not a cup of tea because she microwaved it. The deadpan setup and his politely horrified British reaction make this a joke for bad cooking, cultural differences, and tea purists.
