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

Brother it takes 3 minutes to boil water in the microwave. I have done this without fail.

It cools down much faster though. Not sure how that works.

Listen I can't prove it, but I swear on my mother it does

You can prove it by boiling the water in different ways, putting a thermometer inside and then filming/timing it :D

Because only some of the water boils, not all of it.

My microwave must be really weak then. The kettle is still faster though

It definitely depends on the microwave. In my office, one boils a mug in 2:20, while the other requires over 3 min
