Whew! It's so hot in here that it's almost to hot to have tea! I've been meaning to mention for a while - I have a new method of making tea guarenteed to make the coniseur shiver. I've treated myself to a little teapot from Whittards with a little mesh cup inside. The tea leaves go into the cup and you add water. Once brewed to your satisfaction, remove the mesh cup. At this point, I'm now adding milk directly to the pot giving me two cups of tea to take back to my desk in one :)

[If you go to the whittards website and click on "How to Brew" you can see a flash movie of how to brew using a filter teapot! But you can't link to it directly, god damn it!]

A certain close female relative brews a pot of earl grey in the morning (from a one-cup teabag), takes the bag out, then keeps the pot in the fridge, and microwaves it a cup at a time later in the day. If your method would make coniseurs shiver, that one might just kill them..

That is sick. Sick, sick, sick. When I am King, that kind of person should be first against the wall.

Milk in the teapot is bad enough. Especially if it's Earl Grey which, with Jo, is, I suspect, the case.

It's never too hot to have tea. When it's cold, tea warms you up. When it's just right, tea refreshes you. When it's quite hot, tea refreshes you even more. When it's very hot (like now), tea cools you down [*]. The hotter you are, the more it cools you down. QED.

[*] The thermodynamics of this are counterintuitive, and can't be explained to non-physicists (and obvious to any physicists who might be reading). All I can say is the physics is very cool (unlike the tea, which is hot in all cases, but like the result it produces in the drinker).

Iced tea?
