• One teaspoon of tea per pot? A little on the weak side? I was always taught one per person and one for the pot - and that was with a measuring spoon much larger than a teaspoon.
• a cup of tea. I suppose they are saying it's just one cup of tea they're making, so only one spoonful. I agree, for us it was always one for each + one for the pot.
• Now you mention it, that does look like a small, one-person kind of pot.
• DNA's guide.
• This is my preferred source for coffee brewing info. [go to preperation on the sidebar]
• Thanks for thinking of me Chy! Sugar... Milk... Tea... Although I prefer to brew my tea with milk. Hence my nick - - milktea.
• In a just world, milk in tea would be a heresy punishable by death and/or taxation.
• The legend of coffee begins with a goatherd and his dancing goat. As one would expect. *rudely slurps coffee*
• Everything I know about brewing coffee I learned from Alton Brown. Consequently, it takes me about 20 minutes to make a pot. But it's DAMN good coffee, and HOT!
• oh, oh Looks like SMT and tensor faceoff time. My money's on the Milk-Monster
• Milk in the cup first? Warm the pot up in the microwave? What is this crazy nonsense? The BBC has finally lost the plot
• But I'm not so sure that the final product of my preferred method of brewing tea leaves/stems can be called tea. Tea is what you get from brewing such materials with hot or boiling water, no? I brew with fresh milk; the leaves/stems are added directly to the milk just at boiling temperature. I like to let a little "milk skin" develop as well, the final added touch. For teas brewed with water, I'm very fond of 玄米茶. But I will defend my milk-in-tea to the death!
• Stop drinking that crap and wake up to the real taste of Brut.
• In that case, I like to brew a strong concoction of beans procured from Sumatra. Rather than just "snuff" hot water through ground beans, I let it simmer away on the stove. Screw all that filtering ninny-shit. I let it reduce for maximized potency, resulting in a heavy, tongue-whipping quaff guaranteed to wake you up.
• I just drink hot plasma straight from the socket. Mmmmm mmm. None of that ninny gay faggoty ass liquid shit for me.
• Hamster plasma... mmmm...
• I just drink hot liquid shit straight from a nanny's ass.

• I think the Orwellian method for tea is better. I do heat the pot in the microwave though, and I use a tea cosy. For coffee, I roast my own beans in a popcorn popper and brew in a french press, this method has served me well.
• I think the Orwellian method for tea is better. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stomping on a delicious pot of tea- forever.
• I feed my tea to a goat, then eat the goat. A warrior's drink!
• Do you call it... goattea? The choice of evil twins everywhere?
• No, Bleat. Eaten arse-first.
• Good link, glip! I agree with most of what he had to say (including the part about strong tea = good), but I will admit that I like to put honey in my tea. When I use local honey, I can even say I'm fending off my allergies.
• don't like my tea too full of butterfat especially rancid butter from a yak don't want my tea full of herbs and fruit don't like it green, I want it black
• I can't believe no one's mentioned goatse yet. Or is that now Godwin's territory?
• I would not eat mr Goatse arse-first although I'm sure he's got friends who do. /shudder
• You asked for this: Monkeyfilter: hot liquid shit straight from a nanny's ass
