Saoirse Ronan has taught Americans how to make the perfect cup of tea
Vanity Fair YouTube Vanity Fair YouTube
IN A YEAR that has seen her go from a Golden Globe nomination to Helen Mirren saying she should win an Oscar, Saoirse Ronan is having a serious time of it.
Not only has she made the cover of this month’s Vanity Fair, but now she’s made a video for them on how to make the perfect cup of Irish tea:
“Hi. My name is Saoirse Ronan and today I’m going to teach you America, how to make the perfect cup of tea”

Let’s educate them.
“You fill up your kettle to the desired amount”

“You press your little on button… this is a very fancy kettle”
YouTube YouTube
Vanity Fair probably shelled out for one of the more expensive kettles on the market.
Saoirse moved on to the key ingredients needed:
“Got a bit of milk. This has hair in it… that’s optional”
YouTube YouTube
And while she was waiting for the kettle to boil:
“Shall I just talk about Ireland for the next couple of minutes?”
YouTube YouTube
YES.
After singing the nation’s praises, the tea has been poured. The moment of truth is here, and Saoirse lets the Americans know how important this is to us:
“Have your cup of tea, have your shortbread biscuit. And there you go, life is instantly better for you.”
YouTube YouTube
Excellent.
The Oscars are coming up for her, but this just might be the most important cultural work for Saoirse this month.
Bravo:
More Helen Mirren thinks we should ‘just give Saoirse Ronan the Oscar already’>
More Paddy Power has already got a massive election dig in at the TDs with this stunt>
