First is the fast cup. Nuke a cup with tea bags in for 2 and a half minutes, fuck around while walking when it beeps, mix it up. Drink. It gets the job done fine overall, but you lose spme of the delicate flavors from any tea.
Second is the almost as fast, but better. Nuke the water for three minutes, add preferred tea, wait four minutes and enjoy.
Third is more traditional and gives the best tea. Since I don’t have a kettle that will keep hot water ready, I bring the water to a boil in a pot. Loose tea only, no bags, in a steeper in the cup. Pour water over tea, wait four minutes, begin fixing.
I’m a sweet and milky guy. Two sugars, splash of milk for an 8 ounce mug. It’s almost always earl grey, though I will do chai. That being said, every now and then I have breakfast tea (English or Irish) with one sugar and lemon.
Iced tea I do southern style. Big pitcher, super strong, lots of sugar. Sometimes lemon, but usually not.
Three ways, depending on circumstances and need.
