That's essentially how/why tea bags were invented, back in the day. 🤓

Also TIL. I was a little shocked to find they were invented in... the US.

It doesn't bear thinking about.

Just look up at a flag with a St George's Cross whilst drinking your pint of lager (or cup of tea) and having a lovely curry (or a kebab) and don't ask any more questions.
