US scientist's 'salted tea' suggestion sparks crisis in the UK

US scientist Professor Michelle Francl's controversial statement on tea has been met with backlash in the UK. Arguing that the best tea is brewed with salt, Francl made a suggestion that goes against England's traditional tea culture.

The US Embassy in the UK, for its part, humorously stated that adding salt to tea is not US policy and that they will continue to make tea the right way.

Based on her research into the chemistry of tea, Professor Francl suggested that salt could balance the bitterness in tea. However, this suggestion was seen as an unconventional approach in countries with a traditional tea culture.
