i was told by Americans this is the authentic British way! i feel so cheated
You're not the first to say that to me! I think in US tea is a somewhat fancier drink than in the UK, where it's much more common in both senses. So the Sophisticated folk doing this in America pride themselves on being fancy about it, whereas in the UK that's viewed as silly.
