WTF is this string squeeze technique?!

Squidge the bag against the side of the cup with the spoon.

What now? Why is anyone squeezing a tea bag? Is this some sort of catholic, I deserve to be miserable kind of thing? Why ruin your tea with fines and bitter tannins?

I like it because it reduces bin juice.

Welp my super catholic mom squeezes her teabags until not a single drop more comes out. It's awful. I never squeeze a teabag!

[–] Dimand@aussie.zone 3 points 4 months ago

But I like the tannins!

Maybe I enjoy the misery.

[–] vext01@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 4 months ago

Otherwise the teabags drips all over the surface!

If you must know, most of the time I don't use a teabag. I use loose leaf in a teapot. No squeezing required.

I could relate and have experienced at some point in my life all of these issues except that squeezing method. I personally just let tea bag in cup for 5 min or so and then squeeze it with my fingers when it is not boiling hot.
