Could well be off topic: better tea

If you have to make two cups or mugs of tea, get one 'one cup' teabag and
hold it in a spoon. Make a small hole in the middle of the top surface of
the bag. Pour the boiling water slowly onto the teabag (which is still on
the spoon) putting about half a cupful into each cup, then do it again so
you have gone cup 1, cup 2, cup 1, cup 2. You have to pour slowly so the
water goes into the bag and doesn't just flow over its surface. The hole
helps air escape from the bag. The results are wonderful. The tea tastes
much fresher than normal, without being weak, and there is a doubling of
economy.

If you need to half the costs of your tea , you need to start charging your customers more.

Or you could just use a teapot. It needs to be clean of course, as do the
drinking receptacles, otherwise the taste is off.

Don't forget, they make special cupboards for drying them out too! I
saw one once on Morcambe and Wise.

I suspect that prior to posting the above Bill might have had a/.
just come from the pub and b/. use this 'tip' whilst out in the
field.

Interesting idea.

There's little doubt about it being OT though - unless its about digital
t(ea) without the 'v' - digital in the sense that you are dividing the
output in a binary sense between Cup 0 and Cup 1 - (incorrectly described by
you as Cup 1 and Cup 2). g

Even better, go to the Algerian Coffe Stores in Old Compton Street,
Soho, for the best, freshest selection of teas anywhere.Forget PG Tips!

You get two good cups of tea out of one teabag of 'Yorkshire Gold' tea,
made by Taylors of Harrogate. It speeds things up if you put the second
cup (having been filled with boiling water and with teabag in) in a
microwave oven for about 40 seconds. Whatever their other faults, those
Yorkshiremen do seem to know a thing or two about tea.
