It appears that one man's unorthodox method of making a brew has got a nation of tea drinkers hot under the collar.
Us Brits are noted for having quite strong feelings about how our favourite beverage should be prepared.
Although we managed to recover from the initial outrage of the American invader - the tea bag - in the 1950s, it still remains a very sensitive topic for many.
There is the old adage 'live and let live', however, Twitter user Holly Harley couldn't let it lie when her boyfriend's tea-making tomfoolery took things beyond the pale.
So, here's what's caused the uproar on social media, according to MirrorOnline .
He starts by adding two spoonfuls of sugar to a mug, then the hot water and then a healthy dash of milk so he's left with a sort of sweet, milky soup.
It's only THEN that he adds the tea bag, gives it a quick stir before being heard slurping his drink.
Okay, we know it's "to each his own," but this cup of tea sparked a commenting frenzy - and very little of the feedback was positive.
Holly even joked that she was "very close to calling the police".
"This is horrible. Please say that was immediately poured down the sink," wrote one woman.
Some people from the US were confused, and thought the outrage was because of the addition of milk.
But it turns out Holly's boyfriend may have put together and posted the video to purposefully get a reaction from people.
She adds: "Every time I see it I notice something new that’s wrong with it and he just laughs."
At least he had fun!
