That pic is great!
I drink a ton of tea, I just fill a large pitcher from hot water(hot tap, why not?) and then drop the tea bags in with the string hanging over the side so I can put the lid on and let it sit for 30 minutes. Viola. Nothing special. I got SICK of waiting on boiling water, I just wanted to "set it and forget it". I don't have to worry about forgetting to turn anything off... and if I forget to go get my tea after a couple hours it ain't "burned" or simply evaporated.
But usually I stick with just the instant green tea mixes now'a days.
