Also, make sure to ask "Fancy a cup of?" with extra emphasis on "of". It is a classic British phrase

I think another proper word/phrase is "fancy a cuppa"

You must be "having a laugh" as they say! I'm 1000% sure it's "cup of"

I'm sure they're both correct. Maybe it depends on where the speaker is from?

I had a friend in undergrad who was British and always phrased it like "cuppa".

"I could reeeeally go for a cuppa" she would say like every other hour.

(You seem sincere, so at the risk of killing the joke, I want to point out that both of my comments are deadpan humor! The phrase is indeed "fancy a cuppa", and I'm intentionally getting it wrong, like the tea preparation instructions in the OP.)
