An American woman has recently sparked controversy online after she revealed how she makes her cuppa and calls it "British tea".
Just a warning, for those who are a fan of the odd morning cuppa you might wanna buckle up and prepare yourself before reading on.
TikTok user @swfinds — who moved to the UK from the US — posted a video on the social media platform to share her bizarre way of making her version of the popular drink.

In the clip, the woman is seen pouring an immeasurable amount of milk into an electric kettle.
Next, she adds a heaped tablespoon of sugar into the kettle then pops in two teabags.

She then pours in some bottled water into the concoction, turns the kettle on, and lets the mixture boil until it's creamy.
Once the "British tea" gets into the consistency that she likes, she turns the kettle off and pours the liquid into a tall latte glass.
Finally, she added another heaped tablespoon of sugar in it.

We must admit that we find this method unsettling. So, it's not surprising that the video — which amassed more than 1.4 million views — drew flak from TikTok users.
One person wrote: “I’m traumatised…where is my therapist?”
“This is a disgrace,” another added.
Others questioned the validity of the video, saying that the woman may have posted this to poke fun at British culture as she stated in her bio that "So many things in the UK confuse me!”
“You are having a laugh,” one person wrote.
Meanwhile, a number of curious users said that they might try making a cuppa using this method.
One comment read: “I don’t know you guys, I’m kinda intrigued to try it.”
What are your thoughts on this bizarre tea-making video? Do you think she's just joking around?
