Electric or Traditional Tea Kettle?
Comments (79)Surprisingly (since I love gadgets), it has never occurred to me to get an electric kettle. We use a stovetop whistling kettle. I drink coffee most of the time, with our Keurig pod machine, but husband goes off coffee sometimes and has tea instead. He drinks a loose leaf tea called Mate Latte that he makes in a French press. I also sometimes make mint herbal tea when it's chilly and I feel I've reached my limit on caffeine for the day. Also when we have the time (weekends or dinner parties), we grind our own beans and make coffee in the French press. I actually don't like the whistling of the kettle. It's practical, but it grates on my nerves....See MoreTea, or no tea?
Comments (33)@havingfun, yes, tea is graded. There are sieves the leaves are put through, and the 'dust' or 'fannings' fall to the bottom for tea bags. You can make loose tea by the cup, just do 1 heaping tsp. to 6-8 oz. water instead of a tea bag, and brew it in a pot and increase tea per cups desired by the heaping tsp. Then you can pour it through a sieve into the cup if you don't have a regular tea infuser. You can also brew it for recipes you see in magazines or the internet instead of tea bags, with that same measurement. People think it's more expensive, but actually it's not when you do the math and the taste is very different than bags!...See MoreMy Meyer lemon tree lost all leaves
Comments (2)Can someone give me some advice ? Other pages have "replys?"I guess I'm long & it's to complicated. ? I need to let you know all the changes & present situation . But no one has a helpful word. I guess I'm not one of your Reg. Group of Meyer growers. I'm not new but it's been quite a while!!! Well I tried, THANKS...See MoreSearching for specific tea pot described below.
