I used to boil water in a kettle (and yes, mine whistles), put the tea bag in a mug, pour the water in, let the bag steep for a minute or two (depending on the type of tea), remove the bag and set it aside in case I wanted a second cup, and then depending on my mood would add milk and/or sugar.

But now, thanks to Jess (k9soul), I'll be making tea with this:
IngenuiTEA

I also picked out some of their flavor, roobios, and herbal teas. It'll all arrive tomorrow.

It depends on the kettle.
Mine does.



Randi, are you ready for the atrocities of all actrocities?
Open package, pour into water bottle, shake, drink. Peach only, please. Actually, that's only if I'm at work.

If I'm at the house, it depends on how lazy I am.
Most weekday mornings, it's: fill the cup with water, chunk in a tea bag, push "beverage" on the microwave, then stir in 1/2 or whole sweet 'n low. But if I have more time (or if it's the weekend), I'll boil the water, load the diffuser with looseleaf tea, and then seep it.

I LOVE tea but I have weird "rules"...
Hot tea must be sweetened (if not by honey, by sweet 'n low).
Cold tea must be un-sweetened.


Now, as for the milk question:
I don't use milk in my tea (not suppose to have milk period as I'm allergic to it). However, I do use 1/2 and 1/2 in my coffee. I pour the 1/2 and 1/2 in first so that it mixes itself when I pour the coffee in and I don't have to dirty a spoon to stir. Talk about lazy!!!!
