Cup of tea for one.

[missprim]

If you are making tea for one, do you make it in a cup, mug or a teapot and how long would you leave the bag in for?

[sandyRoe]

A mug. Teabag in the water for a minimum of 5 minutes.

[grasscarp]

mug and leave it to steep for a minute or so, and sometimes if making for two people, take bag out, and use it again in the second cup (reboil the kettle).

[missprim]

You obviously like it strong sandy.

[ummmm]

Mug and leave the tea bag in until it seems the right colour. I don't drink tea...

[DaisyNonna]

sorry, never drink tea.

[tiggerblue10]

In a mug usually. I leave the bag to stew for about a minute while I go and do something else.

[Mk22]

Mug, 2 teabags, twenty stirs to the left, twenty stirs to the right and twenty dips and then a little milk and two sugars and i keep heating it in the microwave as i like my tea absolutely scalding

[China Doll]

Mug and bag left in a while as like my tea strong.

Marks&Sparks No 3. Extra strong. Got to get the caffeine from somewhere

If it's just me then I go for mug dunking. If it's a cup of Earl Grey then it's quite a short dunk (2 mins top) if I want Assam then maybe 3 minutes.

And if I'm going for a fruit or ginger tea I leave the bag in the cup.

English Breakfast 5 minutes.

Are you joking Mk22?

Like the sound of the tea infuser headwreck does it give you the perfect cuppa everytime?

A tea bag?

Never use them. To make a proper cup of tea use leaf tea and a teapot. It's really no hassle. I have a metal teapot which I take on holiday with me. Don't like tea bags.

[boxtops]

Mug - half a minute - I don't take anything else but tea in my tea, and I like it weak. I only drink green tea, white tea, or roobois.

[missprim]

Interesting Judge. Might look at doing that.

[New Judge]

I have got one of those, HW, but I find it does not give quite the same results. I don't know if it is brewing in the cup/mug that makes the difference. Perhaps the pouring action adds something to the brew. But then I am a fussy old bugger when it comes to tea !!

[mumsie_wumsie]

Hate tea bags.would rather not have tea than use them. Always make myself a small pot of tea using leaf tea every time. Then have two mugs every time....
