1 Scientists at the University of Bristol carried out a two-month study to find the best way to dunk a biscuit.

2 About one in four biscuits break up when dunked.

3 Unlike biscuits, doughnuts are held together by protein gluten which doesn’t break down in hot liquids.

4 Horizontally dunking a biscuit into tea allows a longer dunking time, as the liquid takes longer to soak into it.

5 The hotter the tea the faster the biscuit breaks up.
