Definitely my standards. Now heating the water in the microwave will pass muster. Once boiling, put in a tea bag (PG Tips preferred, Tetley or Yorkshire Tea will suffice). Let seep for a while. If impatient stir it up with a spoon. Take out the tea bag.
Add milk and sugar (or other sweetener) to ones own taste (me - milk, two sugar). I've heard some people put the milk and sugar and the teabag with cold water and put that in the microwave directly. Still better than that abomination in that video. Of course, teapot and kettle are the way to go, and if you want a WWII flavour to your tea, make one teabag last for six people. My grandmother still takes her tea this way.
