WATCH: Morgan Freeman tells us how to make the perfect cup of tea

Today is National Tea Day and what better way to celebrate, than make a cup of tea?

While making a cup of tea is pretty much ingrained in our culture, we thought we'd ask an American how to make the perfect cuppa.

Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine joined us to talk about their new film Going In Style, but we had a more important question to ask Morgan.

How does he make a cup of tea?!

It turns out the Academy Award winner makes 'fancy' tea, there's not a tea bag in sight in Morgan's kitchen!

Here is the American actor giving us step-by-step instructions on how to make the all important cuppa.

Do you agree with him?

Going In Style is out in cinemas now.
