Tea? (Part 2)

[Speicher]

Are you intending to make green tea bags?

 

[potsy]

Has somebody spiked the teapot again?

 

[Speicher]

No, you are just spouting nonsense again.

It's that Columbian blend I think

I've just made a , but I had to use the sewing machine to sew up a split tea bag first.

I hope it will: a) hold and b) the thread does not affect the taste.

Edit: Seems ok so far...

Hmmph - no tea sieve in the NT household then.........

I can't remember the last time I used a tea strainer

Oh crumbs - we use one now and again when we are doing it properly. Indeed there is a nice cafe we pedal to which uses T leaves and provides a strainer. Excellent T there

 

[Arch]

Anyway, the leaves in teabags are so fine, they'd leach through a strainer.

They even leach through the fabric, we've noticed recently.

Tis true some strainers wouldn't do. Ours at home is very fine and will do for the small tea bag leaves. I'm sure a (clean) hanky or muslin would work

I hope NT and Arch are watching BBC2 - it's a programme about the Flying Scotsman

Well, I am. NT probably is too. We're 70 miles apart though..

We both have a healthy disrespect for Scotsman though - can't understand why people get so daft about her. She can't be very original by now, and she breaks down every year or so... The money sunk into her could have restored dozens of other things.

I prefer Mallard, myself

Ooooh oooooh oooooh - I trainspotted Mallard when I was a lad

I was suggesting that maybe Evening Star would have been a better loco to have restored back to running condition.

If you like lots of driving wheels, you might be interested in these two projects that are currently in the early stages: GWR 4709 and Cock O' The North. Me likey!

There's a few new build projects on the go at the moment.
