But of course...It says 'Discussion of *hick!* any beverage.'
I hope this includes the prince of liquids, Tea?
Oh dear me no. One simple doesn't boil Tea. It is an art form that demands time, care and patience. One needs to pour boiling water over the leaves then leave it to do its magic.There are very few brands that I would openly recommend. The rest of the stuff they package is swill. The trick to brewing Rooibos is to put it in a pot on the stove and boil the cr*p out of it. Then boil the milk and add it to the tea.
Add sweetener to taste.
I had to wipe an eye when I read this. I never thought I'd ever read anything by an American that included the phrase 'I put in the milk and sugar' How my heart sang.I once brewed a side-by-side comparison of "British Blend" to the real thing. The purple box stuff was slightly lighter in color and just slightly weaker. It was a barely noticeable flavor difference once I put in the milk and sugar, though.
My dear boy, it should be your right to have access to fine Tea. PM me your address and I'll pop a few bags in the post. I'll mark the envelope 'HERBS', that should get it through ok.As a note I would love to get my hands on a good tea... if anyone has suggestions for something that is sweet and good for you send it my way
Nothing beats tea slowly brewed in a porcelain tea pot with the 'ole crochet tea-cosy over it to keep it warm. I'm the first to agree. However Rooibos is a different animal and a bit on the wild side. It needs to be boiled into submission to be truely appreciated.
Your comments on the pot and cosy are 100% spot on.You obviously don't know someone who is very lactose intolerant. My wife, who is very lactose intolerant, would be blowing it out her ass 2 hours after drinking it with even a splash of milk without taking a Lactaid pill. And with some things such as butter and heavy cream even the Lactaid doesn't help and she gets horribly sick off of just a little bit. She has to watch it at restaurants and make sure the food isn't prepared with real butter.I hardly think the splash of milk would cause an upset stomach
Agreed I'm a graduate in Biology and I atent clicking those linksThis is the worst post in the entire history of this site.

The devil may put these things in front of you Brian but it's you that clicks them. Be strong man, be strong. Resist the man milk.This is called synchronicity, right? When something that you've never devoted any brainpower to whatsoever (in this case, man boobs or male lactation), suddenly starts appearing everywhere around you the moment you first hear of it?
I'm browsing CNN today (A bad habit akin to smoking that I've been trying to break for months), and lo and behold I come across a story (INCLUDING A LINK WITH PICS) about newborn babies with boobs and milk. Oh my crap, thanks a LOT eggroll
lol. what have I done?!?! I've opened Pandora's Man-Milk Box.This is called synchronicity, right? When something that you've never devoted any brainpower to whatsoever (in this case, man boobs or male lactation), suddenly starts appearing everywhere around you the moment you first hear of it?
