Default Before Teapots

Before teapots... or what plain folk used to use to make tea.

Back in the 1950's, my Welsh grandmother would put a small porcelained
pot with cold tap water on the stove, then add the ingredients, boil for
a while, and then use a strainer as she poured it into her cup.
Worked for tea, worked for coffee.

When I worked at Hewlett-Packard in the '70's, there was a man from
Ireland who said that in the morning his mother put a big pot of tea on
the stove(probably coal-fired, like my grandmother's).
He said be the end of the day, that tea was REALLY strong.

Cheers,
Eric
