  • @voxnulla hey why don't you pipe the fuck down? This "pedantic shit" is why we watch good eats and why AB is awesome.

  • @ninja3737 do you know how retarded you sound? I'm embarrassed for you

  • Wow, I always use those little mesh cages. I know what he means, though, it always seems so crowded in that little space. If I don't use it, I generally just end up straining the tea through an old T-shirt or something. Not sure if that's necessarily any better, lol. I'm not nearly this scientific about it, I drink too much of the stuff. But I suppose that's why the tea served in the shops tastes better. Heheh.

  • Oh god. I mean, I loved Alton Brown /before/ this episode, but hearing him repeat every rule I already follow in tea-brewing right back to me is wonderful~<3

  • He's gotta be the coolest dad. 

  • @zwithgol Historically, milk was put in first to prevent cups from breaking. Only the rich could afford porcelain and everyone else used cheap china. Porcelain could withstand the heat of tea being poured directly in the cup. Inexpensive china often broke when the tea was poured directly in the cup. Adding milk first tempered the tea and prevented the cups from breaking.

  • Why does it matter when to add milk?

  • @Bulbuh - I Just Showed You It Was, Read All That I Posted For Supporting Data

  • @Ninja3737 Once again, is this proven or not?

  • - When food is exposed to microwaves, the destruction and deformation of the molecules produces substances called radiolytic compounds, and the effects of these substances upon health is unknown.

    There Is More Evidence To Back Up My Claims But Youtube Keeps Wanting Me To Put In A Captcha Each Time
