In the popular Hindi sitcom Sarabhai vs Sarabhai, the character Indravadhan Sarabhai (played by Satish Shah), in one of the episodes, reminiscences his bachelor days in the USA where he made rotis with an iron. As bizarre as it sounds, when one needs to resort to jugaad, there are no rules. Take the case of a viral video of a woman who uses an air fryer to make a cup of tea.
Air Fryer Used To Make A Cup Of Tea
Air fryers are slowly making their way into kitchens across the globe. The ability to keep health, convenience and cleanliness in check are some of the reasons why this kitchen appliance is gaining popularity. But apart from frying chips and papad with minimum oil, a woman has recognised another benefit of owning an air fryer. What’s that?
Well, it helps her make tea. Digital creator Whitney Ainscough took to her Instagram handle @itsmebadmomm to “educate” the Internet on a questionable air fryer hack. Whitney shows how she attempted to make tea in an air fryer. First, she places an empty ceramic mug in the basket of the kitchen appliance. Next, she places a tea bag in the cup and pours cold water into it. The content creator then adds two teaspoons of sugar to the cup.
The air fryer is shut and a timer is set for 6 minutes. After a while, Whitney opens the flap to show how the tea leaves have started emanating colour. While “it is still brewing”, she adds a little milk and then proceeds to continue heating it. Finally, she opens the air fryer to show how her tea is ready for consumption. She definitely made tea in an air fryer, but did she make good tea? Now, that’s something we can’t say.

Netizens Dismiss This Hack As Waste Of Time & Energy
Having garnered over 531 likes and hordes of views, Netizens were appalled by this video. Many people urged her to clean her air fryer. Another joked that it was a lovely cuppa for someone they didn’t really like. An Instagrammer even touted it to be “an incredible waste of time and energy”. What many was the unkept air fryer which didn’t seem to be cleaned from the last use. Some people even speculated that the tea might taste of old chips still stuck to the insides of the air fryer.
Well, would you ever dare to make tea in an air fryer, let alone drink it?
