I'm a Brit of Indian origin, and the way we make tea is like this.

Fill your mug/cup with water/milk in whatever proportion you like. Pour into a saucepan. Add your teabag/tea leaves and any sugar. Heat and stir until you get the desired strength.

I never could like the western way of making tea. It doesn't taste right to me.

In my family, when we were kids, breakfast traditionally consisted of toast dunked in Indian style tea (still my breakfast now). We also had our own version of eggy fried bread sometimes at tea time, that we'd also dunk in tea. I'm scared I'm going to be called a deviant now 😅
