Tea

[Dylan]

Do you/Have you ever used a teabag more than once?

I was just making the wife a cuppa, and for some reason it got me thinking about the Bash Street Kids teacher doing something good and getting a reward from the headmaster - a new teabag.

Mentioned it to the wife and she remembers several family members (who mainly live in Fleetwood) who still do this. Leave it on a saucer next to the kettle ready for the next brew.

It baffles me, it isn't like they are expensive or 'owt. Plus there is no flavour left after the first cup. Why do people do it??

You'd never use a condom twice, the same rule should apply to teabags !

you've never turned a condom inside out given it a quick wash and off you go again, works everytime you've only got one condom unless you've stretched it

Well, this is a direction I never thought a thread about tea would go!

To much infomation there mate ,when I was a kid at plesseys I had to make the tea ect and collect the money for the bags,and milk ect,I often used a teabag twice to save me going to the shop and nobody noticed

Not unless it was a union jack ribbed tickler & cheese and onion flavoured condom, no.

I drink twinnings chai. They are so strong I reckon you could use one bag for 10 cups. I'm not about to test my theory though :|

Typhoo QT is the way to go, no teabags, no milk required and cheap as a portion of deep fried potato .

We have several tea making contraptions here. The old kettle is one, along with a loose tea strainer thingy. Then we have this miraculous 'Tea-Drop' machine, which allows you to put bags or loose tea in and brew it by drizzling hot water through the tea.

My philosophy is 1 bag = 2 cups. Brew still tastes as good in each.
