In our house that meant boiling the kettle on a gas hob, measuring the loose leaf tea into a pot (after you had warmed the pot of course) and pouring in the water. The pot, mug and milk were all carried to the table for him to do the pouring himself after about 4 - 5 minutes. He moans when he visits any of his girls - we all use teabags and make the tea straight in the mug, usually stirring to speed up the brewing process!Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15143514706874395869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576732685143160314.post-77522090542417210092011-05-05T09:23:39.668-04:002011-05-05T09:23:39.668-04:00If you ask me, there should be more posts about te...If you ask me, there should be more posts about tea. I love reading about tea, almost, but not quite as much as I love to drink the brew. I differ, on some points, I guess it is how your ritual for teamkaking goes - I boil the water in a kettle, microwaved water grosses me out, but I place the tea bag along the side of the mug so the boiling water doesn't scorch the tea in the bag, I don't know I read that somewhere. I use loose tea, a mix of English Breakfast and Earl Gray, and I buy these tea bags you add your own loose tea too. About the only pre-bagged tea I like is Constant Comment, it's good for the afternoon. <br />If I ever visit - I'll ask for your Mom's tea!Mary Menzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616466975247492966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576732685143160314.post-63305804975418205502011-05-04T16:57:36.280-04:002011-05-04T16:57:36.280-04:00I love Dr. Who.
