There was a survey somewhere last year, about how long you leave it in dictates how good tea is for you.
If i remember right I think that about 3 minutes was the optimum time. Under a minute, or over 4, and all health benefits were lost
Now drinking Sainsbury's fair-trade cheapy tea-bags. 27p for 80! A veritble bargain, and not a bad cup of tea too!
Well stap me. Here in the remotest landmass on the planet, a box of 80 PG Tip teabags costs $8.49 (so...what, 5 quid?). Just found 80 Tetley for $7.49. Even undrinkable Liptons is $5. How much are these in Brighton?
If NSC need s a good charitable cause next year, maybe a KLS Tea Care Package Fund is in order. I thank you in advance comrades.
As for methodologies, there is proven chemistry involved in the interaction of the volatile oils in tea and coffee (providing flavor) and the boiling water/milk debate.
FWIW, KLS Tea recipe: boiling water, 3 to 4 mins, quick squeeze, then milk. I prefer coffee with warm milk added first.
