After the horseplay was over, Dr. Pym revealed the secret behind Itto's ability to control ants.

Working together, the ants lifted the pot of tea with their tiny bodies, while the others pushed the cups into orderly positions beneath the spout and waited for the tea to pour.
With a splash of liquid into the cups, several servings of tea were set before Lin Ze and the others.
