Hopefully there is a picture attached or this won't make any sense.

DH declares this tea to be perfect. I say it is stewed.

YABU - it is indeed perfect
YANBU - it is stewed

'Weird scum on the top'. Firing offence. Didn't stir.

PlumViper · 11/11/2024 16:43

something wrong with the milk or just wrong

Octavia64 · 11/11/2024 16:43

That's limescale on the top. Sort your kettle out

I could only tell if it was stewed by tasting it

What's happened to the surface. Was it microwaved?

It's living in a hard water area that put me off tea. Even using a filter and with a new kettle, it looked like this and always tasted disappointing.

To be fair he does have other redeeming features.

The kettle needs cleaning and maybe a filtered jug of water to start?

The colour of the tea is perfect for me but wtf is that oily looking skin on the top?

Singleandproud · 11/11/2024 16:37

That's an abomination.

Looks like its been left to go cold then microwaved.

Get a filter kettle it will up your tea-making game.

Eww, with limescale scum too, get a filter jug.

You need to descale your kettle

Caerulea · 11/11/2024 16:36

I'd say your kettle needs descaling! And no, not stewed but I have my tea super strong with a suggestion of milk

tangobravo · 11/11/2024 16:36

Whatever it is, it looks foul

DollopOfFun · 11/11/2024 16:35

That looks grim as fuck, is your water totally crap??
