What age would you let your child make a cup of tea?

There are two main answers to this question, depending on the person's viewpoint:

From the perspective of child safety:

The recommended age for a child to make a cup of tea is 13 or older, as boiling water is involved. This is because young children may not be aware of the dangers of hot liquids and may accidentally scald themselves. Children should be supervised by an adult when they are first learning how to make tea, and they should not be allowed to make tea unattended until they are old enough to do so safely.

From the perspective of child development:

Some parents may choose to let their younger children make a cup of tea, as this can be a good way for them to learn how to follow instructions, measure ingredients, and use kitchen appliances. However, it is important to supervise young children carefully and to ensure that they are safe when they are making tea.
