Tea ramblings

[narcasse]

Entirely by accident, which I will later claim was design, I discovered that it is possible to perfect Darjeeling in a mug. You just need to leave it to seep for five minutes instead of three. Though of course you also have to up the proportion of milk added ever so slightly.

Now I need to start working on the perfect cup of Earl Grey because that’s the one that father prefers.

Also, as far as I’m concerned this is so hideous that I’d almost be tempted to go in search of one. Though I do suspect that it might not go down well with certain company.


Edit: On the matter of mugs, it seems that you can brew your tea for three minutes but add more water and a lot less milk instead. Very odd.

It almost deserves a drabble.

I'm fairly sure I can write you one, if you don't mind being scarred for life. ~_^

Yes, interpretive dance. Rest assured that I rarely resort to it (having been traumatised by a friend reenacting another friend's birth on top of a table once, but at least the barkeep saw it and gave me a free drink out of sympathy), and prefer to flail like a retarded seagull instead in moments of crisis.

Some trainee teacher once tried to teach us the rudiments of Irish dancing at my junior school once… and I shall leave that threat there. ^_~
