First step is to gather sticks under the bushes.
Start a fire using paper, newspaper, cardboard, then add sticks and make a larger fire.
Heat up water until boiling.
Add tea bags to thermos and pour the water inside. Now we have 2 days worth of hot tea.
Optional delicious step: pop popcorn
I usually drink coffee so the water goes in before the teabag, although to be fair the teabag never goes in.
Thankyou for preventing microwave comments. Its an abomination
Teabag, honey, hot water and then milk (almond in my case)
You know I've never tried honey in tea... I may do it
Take your hatchet and slash some leaves in the misty fields of Kerala. Make sure it's monsoon flush, so roughly july to september. Then, chop up an old Ginkgo Biloba that looks wise. Leave it to dry in a Kenyan plain for three years, and head for Nepal. There, you will gather the purest glacier water there is. By then, your tea leaves will be dust. Go buy some Lipton and microwave tap water, it's all you can do at this point. And, uh, teabag first
Sounds like that guy who made a sandwich from scratch: growing wheat, raising chicken etc. He said it was „okay“
Heh, I'd like to read this
Tea bags got many microplastics...
There are definitely companies that use non plastic bags. Usually even compostable. Teapigs, Traditional Medicinal, Buddha Teas, etc.
Those that are made from this mesh-stuff like that „premium“ Lipton shit? Yeah, I wouldn’t use them. Afaik, paper-teabags are safe?
Who knows, they might soak the paper in arsenic or some shit
I recently learned this and bought one of those sieve tongs , but because I still have a bunch of tea bags left over, I opted to just rip them open and put the tea in the tongs. Works like a treat, once you figure out how to rip them without spilling everything lol
Same!
Water.
If the cup is not full enough, I'll top it up (and spill the amount again once I get to my table).
Tea bag first, then freshly boiled hot water.
This is how you scold the tea
Perfect
This is the only answer
Milk, then water, then I empty the teabag into it. Duh.
I also like to put the water in the bowl before I pour the cereal in.
Stop right there, criminal scum
Cereal has to go before the water!
Only if you're adding salt and pepper. Otherwise water first.
Neither. Tea bags are for chumps. It's so much tastier to use fresher loose tea leaves of whatever mix you prefer (and you can control how strong you make it, plus you end up with less waste). I just boil the water in the microwave then when it's hot I take it out and add the tea.
You can buy empty tea bags to fill with loose tea...
A tea bag floats though. It's better to use the traditional balls or anything else metal that will make the tea sink so it soaks better. Alternatively, there are ceramic teapots that keep the tea leaves below the water level.
unfortunately, i believe the microwave was not an option.
Does it make a difference that the tea is never in the microwave? It's only the method for heating a single cup of water, not of heating the water+tea set.
Yes
Tea bag
Teabag and sugar, then drown it in a scalding stream of boiling water.
