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

... wait, there are some americans who put the tea BAG in the microwave with the water?!?

I've MADE tea using a microwave before and it was ALWAYS "heating the water in the microwave, then adding the teabag to the hot water", it never even crossed my MIND to have the tea bag inside the microwave, and frankly that sounds AWFUL.

Close enough to zero to be a rounding error, I'd bet.

I'm often on here telling stories if how evil my mother was, and now I know I can skip all the tedious rehashing of her many evil acts and just tell people she made tea by putting the tea bag in a mug of water and microwaving the whole thing.
