In the reel by @itsmebadmomm, we see the woman place what seems to be an empty ceramic cup/mug in the basket of an air fryer. She adds a tea bag inside and tops it with cold tap water. She adds around 2 teaspoons of sugar to the cup. She shuts the air fryer with the cup inside and starts the timer for 6 minutes. After some time, she opens it to show how the tea leaves have begun to impart colour. She suggests adding some milk while "it is still brewing". She does so and then puts the cup back in to continue heating. Later, she brings the basket out to show us the prepared tea. She seems to be impressed with how it has turned out. Watch the complete video below:
Instagram users had a lot to say about this viral video. Some found it pointless, while others hoped that it was just for laughs. Many people were also concerned about the condition of the air fryer shown. Check out some of the reactions below:

"Lovely cuppa for someone you really don't like."
"What an incredible waste of time and energy!"
