The perfect cup of tea

[that_punk_guy]

At home I usually have fruit teas, because there isn't really a milk substitute that tastes right in tea, and I'm not all that keen on normal black tea. Fruit tea always tastes better if it's left for four or five minutes. If I don't leave it long enough, the taste makes me feel green about the gills for some reason.

My grandma makes the best cups of tea any mortal has had the privilege of beholding. And next month I'm going to see her for the first time in two years, I'm going to have to reject her tea and she's going to give me so much crap about my diet.

I've been making some crap cups of tea recently.  I managed to sort out the one I just made now by pouring the water directly after boil and stirring it a lot more, but I'm afraid I might have lost my touch :-(

You just need to let the force guide you. Don't concentrate too hard on getting it right - that's the wrong approach. The force is in you. Use it, Luke. Er, Mikeymike.

In fact, in England it is generally considered socially incorrect to know stuff or think about things. It's worth bearing this in mind when visiting.

:lol:

The Chinese NEVER use milk in their tea.

That reminds me. The best cup of tea I ever had was...

At a proper Chinese restaurant in Thornton, near Bradford. I forget what the place was called now. Did it have milk in it?

No! :-D
