MONTREAL, March 18 (UPI) -- A Montreal man who promised his wife a cup of tea attempted to make it in the most futuristic way possible -- with a drone.

The video, posted to YouTube by user Viva Frei, begins with David Freiheit asking his wife if she would like some tea in their Montreal home.


Freiheit's wife consents to the beverage, and he goes into the kitchen, where he has attached a tea bag to the bottom of a miniature quadcopter drone.

Freiheit flies the tea bag drone through his house, occasionally dragging it on what appears to be a reasonably clean floor, before returning to the living room, where a cup of water is waiting to be made into tea.

The man's unamused wife looks on and protects herself with a pillow while Freiheit attempts to aim the tea at the cup.

Freiheit's attempt to steep the tea bag ends in disaster, as the drone crashes to the floor.

The husband sheepishly picks up the tea bag from the floor and puts it in the water.

"Because I am a good husband, I tried to make my wife a cup of tea. With a drone. It was almost great..." he wrote in the video's description.
