A Mate of Mine
When he had just left school went to work in a local factory.(patternmaking)

As the new boy he naturally had to make the tea.

He didn't mind this but there was 1 guy there who he just didnt get on with.

Every day for about 6 months he would serve this blokes tea LAST.

Only because once it was made he would microwave it, until the milky water mixture was BOILING in the cup.

And every morning this bloke would take the tiniest of sips and proclaim, "fuck me, I dunno how you get it so hot!"

Eh?
So the prank was to ensure that the guy got a nice hot cup of tea?

Have I missed something?

Clearly
you have missed something. When I make a cup of tea(I'm sure this is a recognised standard) firstly I put boiling water into cup with bag and sugar. Then I let it stew a while(remember, squeeze and stir). Then I add milk(usually from a fridge). All of this combines to make a HOT but not BOILING cuppa.

Boiling a sugar milk water mixture will be considerably over 100 degrees C.

Thus making it much hotter than a "nice warm cup of tea"

Hope this helps clear things up.
