mash the tea

what does it mean to 'mash' the tea?

My mother has started saying this, 'did you mash the tea', which I find really weird especially when she has never said it before.

it's a term used up north meaning 'brew'

Hmmmmm......up north, you say JD, wonder which soap she has picked it up from, gotta be Emmerdale or Corrie as I swear she has never said it until recently.

[jack daniels]

maybe from someone she's spoken to?

The piglet is great, she is 15 mths now and running everyone ragged, can hardly remember her being a tiny baby, doesnt time fly! Roll on university, lol!
