#tea ball

[exquisite-peculiarity]

When you drink tea, how long do you steep it most of the time? (how long do you leave the tea leaves in the water)

I steep it less than recommended- just barely steeped!

I steep it as long as the tea recommends, or something close to it.

I leave the tea leaves in the water until I'm ready to drink it, however long.

I drink my tea with the tea bag still in the cup or pitcher

I brew my tea in a way that expects you to leave the tea steeping (ex.- sun tea)

I get instant or pre-made tea

I don't drink tea

Beth: "I'm probably the only 12-year-old in America who got a new tea ball in her stocking."

Me: "But you wanted a new tea ball, right?"

Beth: "Oh, yeah, I did."

Me: "Then who cares? You wanted something, and you got it for Christmas."

Beth: "Yeah, but I don't know any other kids who would want that kind of thing."

Me: "It's just more evidence that you're actually 65 years old."

Luke: [age 16] "All /I/ wanted in my stocking was candy. I mean: who wants a metal ball that just makes weak grass water?"

Me: "And see? Luke is actually still 5 years old."

Beth: "I /knew/ we were born out of sequence."

gilded moose tea infuser + green iced tea cocktail mix by newmoonteaco

tea lovers will appreciate the gift of a new cute infuser (choose from a ton of animal styles) and a bag of dried tea cocktail (in many tasty options) to enjoy.

I came to be in possession of a few blooming tea balls, and decided to try one in my big cup, rather than the glass teapot they recommended.  I was not disappointed.

Wow, it really has been ages since I’ve been on here. In my defence, I’ve been dealing with HMRC a *lot* this year :/ and also trying out running a physical trading stall, which was an interesting experience.

But yeah, I’ve also been making some new and interesting things. Tea balls, mostly.
