Question for tea drinkers

Happyflowerlady said:
I always heat the water in a small saucepan on the stove, then add the teabag and steep for a couple of minutes, jump it up and down in the pan, and then squish the last bits of tea out of the bag with the spoon, and pour the tea into my tea mug. I really like the English Breakfast tea, but I also like Constant Comment mint, and the spice one, and sometimes just plain Lipton tea.

I have tried some of the herb teas, but do not like them as well as regular tea. Sometimes I add sweetener and lemon, and sometimes sweetener and milk, it just depends on what kind of tea and what I want it to taste like.

I too like English breakfast tea – the Twinings variety. It’s the tea I drink the most. I heat water in a kettle till boiling, put some honey in a mug with the tea bag. Pour on boiling water and steep for 2 to 3 minutes, depending on how strong I want to at the time. Stir it after a minute and at the end. I usually drink it with a small amount of milk, but at times I drink it with no milk.
 

Always bring saucer when picking up the cup.
And extend pinky when sipping.

I brew tea by boiling water and pouring it over a bag or tea ball. Then cover the cup and steep for five minutes. 🙃🙂
 
I rarely drink tea these days as it just isn't the same as loose-leaf tea made in a tea-pot. I drink herbal tea and always boil the water in the kettle.

Red Rose sells more tea in Newfoundland and Labrador than in the rest of Canada, combined. Old habits die hard, my son. One of my former work mates was a "Bay Man " and he made tea so strong the spoon would stand up in it. Four tea bags in one mug, I tells yah. His favorite breakfast was 4 eggs sunny side up, fried Maple Leaf sliced baloney, fried sliced potatoes and five mugs of tea, followed up with 3 Players navy cut plain smokes. Then he was "ready to get at it for the day ". JimB.

Move over Wheaties....THAT is the breakfast of champions!!!
 
I put a huge glass mug in the microwave with one teabag of OSULLOC tea. This is great stuff.....tea plants grown on Jeju Island, South Korea. Some varieties have a slight hint of fruit. A little pricey, but so delicious.
 
Wow, my mother and her sister would be mortified if they read these methods.

Boil water.
Use some to rinse out and warm up the Brown Betty.
Toss out that water and add one or two tea bags.
Pour the boiled water over the tea bags, put the lid on the BB and let steep for 5+ minutes.
Do not squeeze out the tea bag.
No milk or sweetener
Drink from a nice porcelain cup.
If having more than a couple of cups, put a tea cozy on the BB.

If *ell were freezing over, this is how I’d do it for myself.
Good thing it hasn’t come to that.
I‘m a coffee drinker.
 
Some time ago I read that black tea (not green tea) is fermented, and therefore the bag can explode in the microwave. So I never microwave a tea bag.

I don't drink "real" tea any more (bothers my stomach). I brew herbal tea in the cup.

Sometimes I make it in a teapot. But if I don't drink it all, I have to throw it out.
