http://tinyurl.com/yotla92z

What are your thoughts on Michelle Francl's advice for preparing tea?

I find her advice interesting because I've never considered adding salt to tea before. It doesn't seem like it would taste good, but I'm willing to try it because a scientist who researches tea suggested it.

Do you drink tea? Have you ever tried it with salt?

I drink tea regularly, but I've never tried it with salt, as I mentioned before

In your opinion, what's the best way to prepare a cup of tea?

I don't have a particular preference for how tea is prepared; I just enjoy drinking it. However, I find that having a cup of tea after a long day's work brings a sense of relief and relaxation.

Do you find it surprising that Brits reacted so strongly to Francl's advice?

Yes, I don't think all Brits reacted with such outrage, but there may be extreme reactions on platforms like Twitter. Most people probably don't feel strongly about it. I hope more people will try adding salt to their tea after reading her book.

How would you react if a foreigner offered advice on how to prepare a traditional food or drink from your country?

I would enjoy it if a foreigner offered advice on preparing a traditional food or drink from my country. In fact, some foreigners eat our country's food in unique ways, like sushi. For example, instead of using shoyu as a seasoning, they might use sauce and ketchup. It's amusing to me because it highlights cultural differences.
