# can you expand it to 'add boiling water'
this lack of temperature is the main cause for American tea disaster

# Not just the Yanks are guilty... Ever had tea made with those hot water jobbies in office kitchens? Water at 85-90 degrees. Ew....

# i went through a period where i had to get up really early for work
and i started putting cold water in my mug with the tea bag before adding the boiling water, so that I could drink it in a rush without burning my mouth.
interestingly, that method seemed to produce normal tasting tea...it's just the non-boiling 80 degrees water that produces horrible results.

# Mrs Mole: teabag plus milk, non boiling water, leave for 20 mins then reheat in microwave.
non boiling water leave for 20 mins then reheat in microwave.Her mug is brown and scaled up like Shane MacGowan's old teeth.

We've been together 25 years and I don't think she's ever made me a nice cup of tea. Bless her.

:D
