How do you make tea?

[valmarg]

Yeah - I know the reasoning... The explanation that bone china would crack adding hot liquid to cold was what I was questioning, not the bone china itself......

Well. it would'nt would it.

Get the kettle on, Missus!

[HeyWayne]

Switch on kettle.

Fetch biggest mug in the cupboard (mine).

Rattle in cuttlery draw and emerge with teaspoon.

Open cupboard and remove teabag and sugar pots.

Place one teabag in mug followed by one teaspoon of sugar.

Fetch milk (semi-skimmed) from fridge and pour small amount into mug.

Hear kettle "click".

Pour hot water from kettle into mug and stir until desired colour achieved.

Drink and enjoy.

I think you've got that the wrong way round - see my previous post.

Sorry, but I haven't, you have.

Bone china is completely heat resistant, It is completely dishwasher proof/safe.

I think what we are talking about is old 'pot' items

I have some of my mother's dinner service which was 'pot'. I would not put it through the dishwasher as it would 'craze'.

Pottery glaze has come a long way from the rew 'pot' that my parents had.

I never drink tea.

Oh Bubblewrap - why not? It's lovely -

"the cup that cheers but does not inebriate." (William Cowper)

If you are cold, tea will warm you. If you are too heated, it will cool you. If you are depressed, it will cheer you. If you are excited, it will calm you. ~Gladstone, 1865


We had a kettle; we let it leak:
Our not repairing made it worse.
We haven't had any tea for a week...
The bottom is out of the Universe.
~Rudyard Kipling

Well spotted.
