It's a bit wet without a biscuit served. I suggest a rich tea or custard cream. If you can't get those in the US, any of your weird ass deviant cookies will do.

Animal crackers with spray cheese it is

Actually we can use the spray cheese to top the tea like it's a Starbucks Frappuccino or something

ass deviant cookies are best cookies

[–] nxdefiant@startrek.website 7 points 2 years ago

we get our tea from beans, we get our cookies from beans, and GODDAMIT some of us get our milk and sugar from beans too.

It's the American way.

do you dunk it in after or place it in the mug and pour the water in?

Seeing as you know we call it dunking, not dipping, I suspect you're actually British.
