Ooooo. I love turmeric ginger! :purple_heart: Right, it does seem that it could be semi psychosomatic, but luckily it tastes good too. :laughing:

Milk is standard with black tea here, although some people do drink it without.

Also see - Tea anyone? ☕

Tea is serious business, ha

I dunno what it is, but microwaved water << kettle boiled. And I microwaved many a cup in the past.

I know there’s no reason why a microwave wouldn’t be able to boil water, but until I saw stuff about it online (in the last couple of years) I just never considered that would be something anyone would do.

We actually don’t have a microwave either, so it’s not an option for us. The only thing I miss about not having a microwave, is not being able to reheat cold tea back to a nice drinking temperature!

It’s funny, cuz microwaves work by heating up the water inside of food. :nerd_face:

So it’s like exactly what a microwave is designed for!!

But kettles are totally better.

Ooohhh. Yes! I have a huge selection of teas. I like tension tamer too but I think my all time faves are earl grey, bengal spice (it’s a chai by celestial seasonings), and lemon ginger by twinings

Classy! I have some loose leaf ‘Blue Sky’ tea which is basically earl grey plus corn flowers.

How do you take yours? Milk or no?

I get annoyed with people when I ask if they would like a cup of tea and they pull out a list of do’s and don’ts. 1 and a half sugars, skimmed milk, not too strong, don’t put the milk in first, do you have a China cup. if you ever make me a cup of tea you can put 3 sugars in a stewed mug with full fat milk or just flash the teabag in the water no milk or sugar. For some reason this freaks people out having to make the decision for me bc they’re like well do you prefer it with or without and I’m like I really don’t mind and they stand there with the clogs going in their head, What shall I give him :rofl::rofl::rofl:

I assume people drink their tea like me until they tell me otherwise!

If someone is making tea for me I ask for it fairly strong or not too much milk, but I’ll take what I’m given and be grateful for whatever I get!

Straight. No milk or sugar.

My daughter is the tea drinker in our house. I bring her lots of samples as quality teas are one of the things I sell. She likes the tea with fruit blends, and leaves the old school black teas for me.

I like barley tea in the winter though. Reminds me of living in the Far East. I make big carafes of it and we drink it throughout the day.
