PresentsWhat are you buying your loved ones this Christmas? We're looking for inspiration and reckon a big share-a-thon of ideas will help everyone buy better gifts this year.
BTW: If your family reads B3ta and you're worried about giving the game away then tell us what you bought last Christmas.

Nerd of tea?!Lies! You, sir, are a barbarian of tea! Mashing is for children and dodgy, teeth-sucking, cowboy builders.
Never mash, just let the bag rest for three minutes or so. A smoother, less bitter brew will be your lasting reward for the time invested.

What?Leave a teabag to stew?! Best way is to take bag and dunk, then lift, allowing the water that has seeped in to the bag to run out, thus taking the dissolved goodness with it. Repeat until colour and strength to your liking. Much faster, much more acurate.

Not stew, brewI will concede that your accelerated process has its merits, just as long as you don't squish the bag against the side of the cup.

Normal teabags?!For a decent cup of tea in a pint mug use a coffee filter bag and leaf tea to taste -- you then get all the flavour with no mashing necessary.
How I miss my dear-departed pint mug, filter, and "giant tea spoon".
