Tea-making debates are not unusual in the UK. Whether the milk, water or teabag goes in first, which biscuit accompanies a cuppa the best, the list goes on.

However, one social media user has seemingly invented a new debate when sharing how their father taught them to make a cup of tea.

They shared this strange tip on the UK Casual forum on Reddit, leaving many people scratching their heads about why this person was ever given this advice.

The Mirror reports that in the post, the son explained his dad always said not to use a cold spoon in his tea as this will cool the beverage down.
