Twinings Tea

[Chilly]

coke zero is pretty good. frankly, once you realise how much sugar is in the full-fat versions of most fizzy drinks you'd probably never want to drink one again.

 

[Ormorof]

there is no fat in coca cola...plenty of carbs and calories but aint no fat to be found

 

[Chilly]

I did say sugar...

 

[Scouse]

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

You're wrong. You should even pre-warm the teapot if making it in one.

Probably confusing it with coffee. But then you're a manc so what do you know about anything

you don't get a bitter taste from the leaves

Bitter comes from stewing, not brewing.



Edit: Just read cHo's imperial tea post. Just below boiling - ie. straight away.

Edit edit:

It doesn't matter how it's made. Or what make it is. As long as you like your way, then it's fine

No no no no NO!

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

I miss Virgin Coke, it was delish.

Nope. Boiling water for black tea. Just boiled water for green tea.

 

[Ormorof]

I did say sugar...

actually you said "full-fat"

 

[old.user4556]

actually you said "full-fat"

It's an expression meaning "not the diet / light / cut down version".

 

[TdC]

As long as you like your way, then it's fine

I just had *such* a nice Chilli ...I know technically this is a Tea thread but I couldn't find the Chilli thread (fkin FreddyFail tbfh, due to that dickhead Septic_Meg I'd imagine) ...and I did have Tea afterwards so that's ok, right?

 

[Chilly]

what's a Chilli ?

 

[EiKON-Mike]

A typo'd Chili?

 

[Scouse]

If you boil the chilli for 5 hours, leave it overnight then reheat it the next night - win.

If not......

Another nicely well written piece on the subject, if not quite as well as Orwell.
