Johnson later responded on Twitter for those steeped in interest over his tea preparation, writing: “This is really how I make my tea. It lets it brew and makes it stronger.”

“I was mesmerized by it,” one wrote. “Was happy to see you didn’t add too much milk but was getting quite stressed by that teabag left bobbing about. It felt like I missed an ending, I needed closure on the teabag..."

Last month, Johnson made headlines for another hot drink debacle. While on camera, an aide handed Johnson a hot drink in a paper cup only to have another aide snatch it away and say, “No disposable cups.”
