Jill probably does tea like my ex mil and most restos... pour hot
water into a cold cup, carry it twenty yards to the table and then
bring a fercocktah no name teabag containing tea leaf dust, saved from
the Chinese take out so folks can plop it into water about the
temperature of fresh ****... this ensures that the tea bag isn't so
extracted from the get-go that four people can share it... my ex mil
was a great hostess, she at least asked to determine who liked their
tea the strongest and so handed the teabag to those in order of
preference, the one who liked strongest got the teabag first... if
Jill starts a new teabag on Sunday by Saturday she's enjoying dirty
socks water. LOL
