    well you see, when you heat it slowly over a flame, the bad stuff evaporates and leaves behind a purer flavor…
    when you microwave, it doesn’t

    p.s. im an american and have no problem microwaving water… but i do swear there’s a slight difference… maybe it’s from the cup being nuked?
    i also microwave cold coffee…

      The “slight difference” is you need to clean out your fucking microwave. 🗣️

      I’ve made tea on gas, electric, & even mf induction stovetops, over an open flame, using an electric kettle and in a microwave.
      There’s 0 difference. The only thing that matters is getting the water to boiling temperature, which all can.

        “Why does my water taste gross? Must be the radiation’s fault?”

        Meanwhile, 3 years of food grease, splashes, and debris coat the lining of the entire microwave.
