step 3: turn on the burner

step 4: let it brew, sit for about 2 hours

[hotb]

why are you making tea in a coffee maker

are you dense or what

[Zang]

it works!

and hey, still tastes the same so

[The Willow Witch]

2 hours? thats gotta be some strong tea.

[Zang]

eh, you would think so, but it's just using a coffee burner, so it takes a while for it to seep, since it's not very hot!

[Superior Bacon]

or you could just boil water on the stove like a normal person

[Spoony]

Or, like, a kettle

exotic, arcane instruments from the orient isles that they are, but still

[Zang]

true, though I mainly use a coffeepot because I can walk away from it, that and it's pretty much habit now, haha.

I'm pretty sure you can walk away from a kettle too, and a cup of tea. Provided you come back before it goes cold.

I've forgotten about my tea a few times, a cold cup of tea is unpleasant.

I have a gas oven stove, those shouldn't really be left unattended!

Frankly I've always loved iced (sweet) tea. if it's unsweet it's just nasty though, yea.

[D-vid]

I drink cold tea. It's good.

[Dire]

I meant an electric kettle. I don't know many people who use a stove top kettle outside of camping.

Even still, stove top kettles are designed to whistle when ready. So you can leave it till it calls for you.

[YCobb]

I use a stove top kettle, yeah. It's really not a hassle at all, just stick water in and forget about it until it's ready.

[Superior Bacon]

why wouldn't you walk away from a gas stove? i have one, you don't have to sit and stair. just don't take a nap or put something flammable by it.

[Scoot]

Depending on the tea, using a coffee pot may not be a bad idea because the water isn't actually supposed to be boiling for most teas.


Either way, if it tastes good, who really cares.


As for my tea, lately I've been drinking this



but I'm a little more used to loose leaf. My favorites would be regular green tea, oolong, and chamomile/herbal teas. I actually grow chamomile myself, and it's delicious freshly dried.

I've tried rooibos, but the stuff I have has a little too much vanilla for me.
