In addition to coffee daily, I also drink an Irish Breakfast tea and usually 1-2 cups of various others later in the day as well (this winter season Iβll do mint, chamomile, probably Rooibos or Oolong, whatever I happen to find for cheap).
An electric water kettle was given to me as a gift (but they are cheap anyway I thought?) and itβs so super fast and easy. I donβt really know what Iβm doing - just pour, steep for ~1 min, then drink, repeat:-). For breakfast tea I add creamer, for the rest nothing. Iβm sure I could do more like put those large packs in something airtight.
What do you rock, in terms of teaπ΅?
I drink tea primarily. Iβm trying to cut back, but Iβll drink at least one 24z pot I the morning (looseleaf in a strainer, electric gooseneck kettle, ceramic pot) and then go drink iced tea all day at work.
Youβre understeeping your breakfast tea, by-the-by. Most black teas are best around three minutes.
I do it as a cost-savings measure: I steep once for 1-2 minutes, then later in the day re-use the same bag once more, at which point it can steep for several minutes.
Iβm probably over-thinking that - especially if I am under-thinking all other aspects of tea-making:-).
But thanks for the tip - perhaps Iβll try one at 3min and see how much better it tastes!:-)
