Thread: Tea anyone ??!!

Steph the Ceylon is nice. Not strong enough, but nice all the same. Since it is tea bags I might just hit the cup with two at once. It has a bit of the Bergamont in it like Earl Grey, but doesn't taste so strongly. A nice end of the day cup of tea really.


Don, with regards that tea pot handle I would wrap it tightly with something and tie that into place before getting some lace and round plaiting (braiding) over the top of that insulating material. A simple four strand plait would be sufficient but you could add more and narrower strands of thin leather of a couple of different tones or colours to really fancy it up. Just a thought on doing the job. You might like something closer to whatever was originally doing the job.

Any idea how I could fix that? I see the new ones have wicker or some type of basket weaving stuff braided onto the wires. Like I said, I'm open for suggestions.

That Ceylon tea is much better made using two bags per cup...Well I prefer it that way, having a preference for stronger tea. It's good one way or the other I suppose.


Mick

Strong is good mate....if I average cups per pot and bags per pot...we got the same strength preference.

Yep one fer me and one fer the cup!


Mick

Hey ....not that it really needs saying, but by all means post more of the foods you love with tea here cause it's all part of the experience

Mick....wouldn't mind seein a pie n tea pic from ya now if that's at all possible, I know I know....askin ya to eat pie with tea is askin alot and almost inhuman...but ask I must.

Geez mate, I wished I had have thought of that, I was sitting down at lunch today eating not just a pie, but that great Aussie Icon, the 'Chico' roll as well. And with a cup of tea to boot. Never thought to take a photo though. Might have been something to do with the frustration of putting together a bit of Ikea flat pack crap that the wife bought for the kids room. Took me all day in 30 plus degree heat. Not a happy camper today. I'm good now though. Ended the day withy the Ceylon followed by a half bottle of cold white wine and a tall glass of double shot bourbon and cola...Like I said...Hot bloody day today. I'll see what I can do about the pie and tea shot sometime real soon though mate. I'll try for tomorrow, but it'll kill me diet...The sacrifices one must make though .
