Tea (rec.drink.tea) Discussion relating to tea, the world's second most consumed beverage (after water), made by infusing or boiling the leaves of the tea plant (C. sinensis or close relatives) in water.

Is it O.K. to re-use teabags?

I was wondering if it was O.K. to use teabags more than once.


It's not a health hazard.


I have a vision...a sign by the highway...with two
giant H's.

And maybe a lobster underlining them.

I don't know but sometimes I will spoon in a couple spoons of fress coffee
on top of the used coffee grounds and I can't tell a difference. I only do
this if I make more coffee real soon after the first.

O.K., but does this mean that I can use them again only if my second or
subsequent use for them is not feeding trolls, or that I should *always*
use them several times until there's nothing left in them for trolls to
eat before I throw them out? Also and, does it make a difference whether
my garbage dump is near a bridge or not?

Forget teabags. Use loose leaf and a decent infuser. I prefer the
basket style infusers to the crappy teaballs that hang on a chain.


Lipton's cold brew iced tea is much better than any of that clumsy
crap. Good god, it's the 21st century! Why anyone wants to fiddle
**** with packing tea in devices and all that is beyond me.


The Lipton you write of is lower quality and far more expensive than
loose tea.
I get this for $7.99 a kilo at the local global grocer:

If you have more money than time, and care more about ease of
preparation than taste, go ahead and stick with the Lipton.

I use this old fashioned tool called a tea strainer:

Does your woman roll her own tampons, too?

By that kind of logic, instant mashed potatoes would be a good choice
over freshly made mashed potatoes.

Depending on who made them and how, that could very well be smart. I've had
freshly made mashed potatoes that were pretty much inedible. Potato-flake
reconstitutions _rarely_ achieve that degree of solid lumpiness.

You need to be more specific of what you speak on this thread. drmrboy read
the word "tea-bag" and got all excited for a moment.

Depends should not be used as teabags, regardless of your religion.
And if they've been used once, they should be thrown away!

They put strings on tea bags so you can rinse them and hang them to dry.
(Just like tampons....)

"Danked," the past participle of "dank", is used to refer to someone
who replies to his own post on an online forum posing as another person
(see "Internet sock puppet") but forgetting to change his username . . . .
This was an act of stupidity meriting a name of its own, and because the hapless
contributor's username was Danks, the term "dank" or "danked" emerged.

Obviously SOMEONE understands it, or it wouldn't
be used, now would it? And here's a hint: ALL languages
are "made-up" - they're artificial constructs, with no real
inherent meaning.

Do you often visit foreign countries and insult the people
there, because they're using a language that YOU don't
understand (which seems to be your real problem here)?

Not necessarily, but one would *like* to think that.

They do a good job of conveying it though.

Well, by default, usenet chatrooms are in English. My
newsfeed gets a bunch *.de groups where I suspect they
write in Scandinavian or something.

100% wrong. Asieoniezi, for example, shown the inherent
oneness of all things by its very construction. YOU BOZO.

What's the point of insulting them if they don't understand
English? YOU BOZO.

I think the orignal poster was complaining about the acrostics people
like to use on this BBS, like "LOL" (Laughing Out Loudly), "ROTFL"
(Rolling On The Floor Laughing), and "WTF" (Waves To Friends). But
these are pretty well known and you should be able to figur them out.
