Poll: I'm going to make a cup of tea.

[Bettyboo]

Would you?







but, due to milk issues...

[klong toey]

Out with the bags. Absolute outrage you nearly got a red.
Make a pot of tea do the job properly.And ditch that powdered milk as well.

^^how does that work, KT? Do you need to buy a special machine?

^Funnily enough, was chatting about that at lunchtime; still haven't been. With all the money going back to build the house, I might not be going any time soon either...

[somtamslap]

Coffee Mate? In PG Tips?

Will somebody please systematically destroy this man and dispose of any evidence that he ever existed.

[Rural Surin]

Heathen.

Don't forget the tea strainer.

[Bettyboo]

^how quaint.

I knew you lot would answer like that, so old fashioned. I'm more of an innovator, a creator, meself... It tastes good too.

This'd be nice too:

[klong toey]

^I think your making a laxative.

[Bettyboo]

You know, the funny thing is, and I haven't admitted this before, but it's time to come out (with the truth), I've been doing it for years. I have. And enjoying it too! In fact, I can't take it the normal, proper way, nowadays. It's coffeemate or nuffink.

(Come on Gerbil, there's some rife stuff there for you )

[klong toey]

Betty your going to gaol for this thread your days of posting freely will soon be over.
Couple of weeks in the slammer should put you on the straight and narrow.

[Bettyboo]

It does feel wrong, but I needed to tell somebody.

[Rural Surin]

All this aside, traditionally, the tea taking English-speaking communities rely on more common low-grade varieties [Darjeeling types] that they've always considered superb! Most of the decent Indian teas are saved for real tea drinkers.....as should be said, the highest quality teas are Chinese and Taiwanese, which usually don't make it [largely] into these Western markets.

Real tea consumption isn't destroyed by odd condiments of cream, sugar, lemon, etc. Considered grotesque in particular circles....

Not a critique, but an observation.
So don't get your panties in a twist.

[Bettyboo]

^I accept all of that, RS. But, how would these teas taste with Coffeemate and a Mr Kipling's Almond Slice. I ask because these are the pressing concerns.

แซว....

[Bettyboo]

Drongo???

[Bettyboo]

Did you mean Rango?





Gotta love Rango...

A china cup or mug would help. A little milk in the cup first, semi skimmed if you are weight conscious. Leaf tea or quality bag tea is fine. Warm the pot; you do use a pot don't you? Stir and allow time for the brew to mash. Use boiling water of course.
Almond slice, rich tea, shortbread or scone as required.
Job jobbed.

PS You can ignore Jeff, everyone else does and he's a heathen anyway.

I put a cup of water in the microwave for 2 minutes.

Am I doing it wrong?

Ummmm.....yes.
Terribly civilised, indeed.

Civilised is as civilised does Forrest.

Cream goes on the scones, not in the tea.....

[Bettyboo]

Oooooooh, clotted cream - that looks nice!
