You could walk a mouse across it?
Some one has just said this on Call the Midwife when handing a cup of tea to someone. What does it mean? Assume it’s to do with the tea strength! I’ve never heard it before!

Had a search on google and apparently it means that the tea is dense/strong enough for a mouse to walk across without sinking.

Thank you! I did google it, but all I got was odd videos and articles about whether mice can walk on two legs! Thank you!

It made me chuckle too, one of my great uncles used to use that expression years ago. I love my tea quite strong “builders brew” type tea😉 can’t abide tea that looks like watered down milk🤨 that’s how my sister makes her tea.. as though it didn’t even touch a tea bag or leaf.

An Irish lady I used to care for always liked her tea “strong enough to trot a mouse on”. It‘s how I like my tea too!

My Dad always used go say “strong enough to trot a mouse on it” or alternatively “strong enough to stand the teaspoon up in”
