I make it Meri beer-style, a large earthenware pot and hot rocks, add whatever dried leaves that I foraged beforehand.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

No milk or sugar. Otherwise tea is all the same to me, coffee is where it's at.

Coffee and my digestive system are not friends. -_-

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

I haven't had a cup of tea in about 30 years.

Standard tea = Yorkshire Tea with milk. Sugar or not depending on my mood. Although I am milk first :ph34r:

Lockdown tea = I bought a teapot early in my lockdown because I was in crutches and a teapot + flask was better value for the amount I had to shuffle to and from the kitchen. I now have a few loose leaf green and black teas that I have from a pot. But that tends to be more of an afternoon thing because I stop have standard tea or coffee after lunch.

T2 is really, really good - I share an office with someone who has an assortment and it's great.

In hospital I can see because it's a building and you're inside it, but in crutches?  That's bonkers.  One is on crutches.  There they are, under your armpits.

UK crutches, as far as I've seen.

Yeah that was the sort I had (though a little less jazzy) - though I mistyped and should have said on crutches :lol:

Oh I didn't realize the Preposition Police were on patrol. -_-

Neither did I.

I have my tea without milk. If I make the tea then I use Booth's "Builders Tea" tea bags; if my wife makes it then she uses Yorkshire Gold and makes it in a teapot. I don't have sugar in my first tea of the day; but subsequent cups there is a 50-50 chance of adding one spoonful of sugar.
