If it isn't made in one it isn't officially tea. ... next we'll have people putting milk in it or making it with plant material not obtained from camelia sinensis ...

We're not being judgemental here. Whatever is appropriate in your culture is what we are interested in.Griff said:Do people still use tea-pots?
I believe they use jam jars in Cork**(C/f Angela's Ashes.

My tea is left to Mash (N. Yorkshire influenced)
As for baths I run them - and sometimes over fill them

slight system overdrive
One runs a bath and brews tea, unless one is a commoner or a foreigner, in which case one can do as one wishes since one will never mix in the same circles as the people who matter

Your grammar may be an issue, mind you. "Will you espresso me a coffee?" No, I think not.Sasaferrato said:Tea is an abomination that no sane minded person would have anything to do with.
My COFFEE filters, expressos or instants.

'Twas my mother's fault, she didn't give me tea as a child, so that I would continue to drink milk instead. I stopped drinking milk when I was about ten, didn't start drinking coffee until I was about 14.
I take three heaped spoons of Alta Rica, or similar per mug.
( If I don't have coffee by 1o am I get a headache that only coffee will shift.

You're imposing your Southern dichotomy on it. Up here, we all draw baths, and don't have Public schools._angel_ said:

stew - i think. I don't really remember, i don't like tea and so have never payed much attention.
But i think "stew" is the verb, and "stewed" is the state of having been stewing too long.
Oh, and run a bath, for sure.

We used to draw our baths in front of the living room fire, until I was a teenager! I'm serious; there wasn't any heating the the bathroom.

When I was a barman, I worked with a girl whose idea of coffee was four spoonfuls of instant and four sugars. No milk, of course. For some strange reason, no-one ever drank her coffee by mistake...
I've a fair tolerance for caffeine, but a few of those would have me rattling off the walls.

I have a problem with "brew", btw...
You "brew" beer - it's more active, somehow, than letting brownness leach out into water.

I drink about ten of those a day. 100g jar does me a week at work.
Edited to add:
I used to take three sugars, too many calories.
Never milk though.

They're not Public Schools, though, are they? They're Private Schools. Calling Private Schools Public is an English thing.Sasaferrato said:Apart from Dollar, Fettes, Watson's ...
