No, of course we don't microwave the mug WITH the teabag in it. We microwave the teabag separately.

In my experience you won't actually boil water in the microwave because it takes an eternity so you end up with tea in "warm" water instead. Or apparently some people also put the tea bag in the microwave ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Brother it takes 3 minutes to boil water in the microwave. I have done this without fail.

It cools down much faster though. Not sure how that works.

My microwave must be really weak then. The kettle is still faster though

It definitely depends on the microwave. In my office, one boils a mug in 2:20, while the other requires over 3 min
