When your tea is too hot, so you put it in your spoon like soup and blow on it and drink it that way. Most often done by children who don't have the patience to wait for the tea to cool. The double dirty Irish trick is when you drink the tea from the saucer. (South Buffalo, NY Irish)
Anne was drinking her tea and it was too hot, so she did the dirty Irish trick and drank it from her spoon.
