  • Hi, my name is Saoirse Ronan and today

  • I'm going to teach you, America, how to

  • make the perfect cup of tea.

  • You fill up your kettle to the kind of desired amount.

  • So this is filled up to 5 cups,

  • so we can now have a cup of tea.

  • Guessing that's this thing, press your little on button.

  • This is a very fancy kettle.

  • You don't use your kettle to actually serve

  • the tea. That's wrong. You have a tea pot,

  • put your teabag in there, you'd have two, usually.

  • So we're gonna leave that in there.

  • Got a bit of milk, this has hair in it.

  • I don't know, that's optional. Just to make

  • it extra Irish, I have my own potato

  • that'll be involved in today's tutorial.

  • Shall I just talk about Ireland for the

  • next couple of minutes?

  • Ireland's the best, Ireland is, um, a small

  • island between the UK and America

  • the center of the universe basically

  • it's very green in Ireland. The populations

  • about 5 million. James Joyce's from there, Oscar Wilde...

  • shortbreads are not Irish

  • they're Scottish. Anyway, your kettle's

  • boiled, you fill up your teapot

  • have your teabag in there, let it brew for about

  • 3 minutes, make sure it's nice and strong

  • Pour your tea. Put your milk in

  • it looks awful from here but the idea is there

  • Have your cuppa tea,

  • have a shortbread biscuit, there you go

  • life is instantly better for you!

  • Oh my god, the pressure!
