Tea? (Part 1)

[Arch]

No, I find that is an extremely inconvenient way to drink tea, I useually use a mug. The tea bag is very small and does not hold its shape very well.

How do you not properly boil water?

 

[Christopher]

I meant not from the hot tap . Anyway you need a good rolling boil, not just a few bubbles.

 

[Mr Phoebus]

I see the ladies have quickly latched on to the tea bagging mention.

 

[Speicher]

I know where I could bag a load of tea bag material. What could I use it for other than teabags. Did anyone else make pretend stamps, when you were very young, where you used a blunt needle on a sewing machine to make perforations in paper, and then coloured in or drew on the stamps.

BTW that reminds me. Arch, if you think Olli would like a Spiro Tot, when he is a bit older, then you might need to look out for one soon. They are difficult to get hold off, Lakeland Plastics do one and they call it a Hypotrochoid. * You will of-course need practice in spiralling.

* I will look up the proper name, so as not to cause consternation in those of an elliptical bent.

I also drink white tea with no milk. Great for the body, apparently!

Bath tea bags - fill with lavender and other such herbs for a relaxing bath infusion.... I've seen them for sale...

I'll bear the spiro-graph thing in mind. Just now, he's having trouble holding a felt pen the right way up to make a park on the paper. On his hands, yes, and his mouth, but not the paper. Still, I had fun, colouring-in one of the pages of his colouring book. I may have to get myself one...

White tea with no milk, Nicensleazy? A contradiction in terms, surely? oh, hang on, you mean white tea like in green tea or black tea...

hi
Does anyone make tea like this:
1) Take very large mug (~ 1 pint);
2) Take small pinch of loose tea (Earl Grey or Lapsang Souchong) & drop into bottom of mug;
3) Pour water over, let steep a few minutes, stir and drink?

Someone I knew used to make tea like that, I always forgot when I went to visit them and ended up with a mouthful of twiggy leaves

Better that than a mouthful of soggy teabags...

Makes weak but tasty tea and the leaves stay in the bottom of the mug. I no longer drink Earl Grey by the pot & this is about all I want.

That's not tea, that's homeopathy!

Oh and does anyone else here drink Liptons Tea from teabags? Everybody else hates it but I love it..

I do Chinese Po Nee tea like that. The leaves and twiggy bits are much larger and usually stay at the bottom.
As the tea only brews while the water is hot enough, the tea leaves can be used a few times over just by refilling with boiling water.

Any tea on the go? I am in need of a large cuppa.

Evening meal was good - I roasted a leg of lamb. It was *delicious* and plenty more for a decent curry tomorrow. Hopefully said curry will aid the removal of my headcold.

I had dinner with Miss tdr1nka @ 6pm and now I'm starving!:roll
