A British woman has been advised to ‘leave her boyfriend’ after he made her a cup of tea that ‘looks like it was made with chicken stock’.

The anonymous woman shared a photo of a very weak cuppa in a black mug to the Casual UK subreddit last week, causing thousands of Brits to share their disgust.

Looking more like a can of soup than and English brew, the picture shows a light liquid with foam around the outside, which outraged thousands of Brits who called for the woman to ‘make her boyfriend write lines’ while others went as far to say it was ‘a declaration of war’.

‘Mourn the teabag that died for this brew my boyfriend made me,’ she wrote alongside the snap which riled up more than 32,000 people.

‘Is he ok? He appears to have given up on life,’ said one, to which the original poster replied: ‘Lockdown has funny effects on some people’.

‘Did he make it from the cold tap? Did he reuse an old tea bag from the bin? I literally don’t understand how it’s possible to make tea that weak,’ asked another.

‘My girlfriend’s mum makes tea to this specification. It hurts me to make it every time. I have actually given her cups of hot water and milk and she hasn’t noticed,’ confessed one user.

‘Looks like milk before teabag to me,’ added another. 

'Mourn the teabag that died for this brew my boyfriend made me,' she wrote alongside the snap which riled up more than 32,000 people.

‘Just added lukewarm water to yesterday’s leftovers,’ wrote one. 

Others asked what the user had done to provoke such a rubbish cuppa, while some said her boyfriend had ‘declared war’. 

‘I never knew that a cup of tea could have anaemia,’ wrote one.

‘This is tea? Looks like brackish water to me, or some water that has been used to do the dishes,’ added another.

‘Tip it in the sink and start again, that’s a write off,’ said another.

When the user replied: ‘I’ve got a replacement steeping as I type,’ the commenter hit back: ‘The tea? Or the boyfriend? 

‘Think that’s the worst cup of tea I’ve ever seen. I’d bin the cup just to be sure,’ wrote one.  

‘Can we please give this a NSFW tag? Seriously this is disgusting. If my boss saw me looking at this there would be serious questions,’ said one.

‘Did he make that tea with chicken stock?’ joked another, while another said: ‘when I saw this, I thought it was chicken soup til I read the title’.

Defending her beau, the poster said he makes an ‘incredible’ full English, which balances out the poor tea making.
