what about people who make 2 cups out of 1 teabag?

Jews, Yorkshiremen, Scots and Scousers!

 

[TdC]

indeed, that's almost worse than freshening some coffee that you already had perk with a spoon full of fresh grounds. people who do that deserve to be flayed alive.

My mum forces me to do this, we all accept that making a cup of tea is better when its in the cup, not a pot, but when there's 3 or more cups, its 2 tea-bags in a teapot, and it tastes shit, its like adding more water to gravy than necessary.

You need to remind your mum that teabags only cost between 1p and 4p each!

Mate, she moaned when Tesco did 4 bottles of coke for the price of two, claiming it was still too expensive, you, have, no, idea. I'm sitting here, with a bin-bag as shorts.

She was right, the 4 bottles for 2 offer is still overpriced, since when was 2 ltr of coke £2 anyway? Never in Manchester, not even in a petrol station! Lidl do a 2x2ltr for £1.50 every so often, that is the best deal around.

Another one to watch for, choc digestive biscuits. Supermarkets doing 2x600g packets for £2.50 and trying to tell us it would normally cost £4. Well I can find plenty of places selling them for £1 pack all the time, then you have the supermarkets own which sell for 40p, you could buy 3.5kg of those for £2.50 and they are almost as good! Less salt, less fat and no hydrogenated fat!

I'd let you teabag me twice Rus.

Fucking hell you lot are wrong about lots of things.

Loose tea goes in a tea pot, you only put tea bags in a tea pot if there is more than one of you. Milk goes in first only when brewing in a tea pot.

Water should be JUST BELOW BOILING (Scouse you muppet).

By the time you pour it out of the kettle into mug/pot it is...

Edit: But you want it as close to boiling as possible. You want hot water for coffee - boiling for tea.

Sainsburys classic coke. less than a pound and far better than coca cola

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Sorry but that's patently untrue, there is no better cola than coke.

Far better I dunno but just as good quite possibly and half the price normally.

No, you really don't want boiling water for tea. That is what I am saying. Deal with it.

Disagree, Pepsi for me everytime.

I read somewhere that after boiling you leave it 30 seconds, when pouring it drops in temp a bit more and has cooled enough so that you don't get a bitter taste from the leaves. All depends on the variety of leaf though I would imagine.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Pepsi is pretty good, I find it a tad watery for me though.

Pepsi Raw on the other hand....

Water Temperature


Aside from choosing the best water and tea leaves possible, Water temperature is the
most critical element in preparing the perfect cup of tea. Regardless of which
apparatus you choose to boil your water, remember to follow these guidelines when
starting out. Heat the water in a glass, ceramic or clay teapot until it reaches a boil
(212 degrees Fahrenheit) then allow the water to cool before brewing your tea.
Guideline: 180 degrees for green tea, 190 degrees for Oolong tea, 200 degrees for
black tea.
This is especially important when preparing delicate green teas. These temperatures
can be increased following successive brews. Quality teas can often be steeped 2-3
times.

See, Pepsi is just right for me but Coke is a touch too thick. Horses for courses.

Can we at least all agree that tea from a machine is fucking rank?
