You joke, but a bit of salt in your tea is delicious

Oh so no way they dump enough into the ocean. Be cool if we could turn a lake into a strong cup of tea. Question is how much sugar and honey would we need to make it tasty. And last but not least what type of tea?

[sulgoth@lemmy.world]

Zero sweeteners is the right amount of sweetener. I'm partial to Earl Grey personally.

This doesn't work. The water has to be boiling

[devfuuu@lemmy.world]

just wait one or two more years.

[techiedamien@lemmy.ml]

I guess you've never made iced tea then

[worldsdumbestman@lemmy.today]

Am I tea?

[lugal@sopuli.xyz]

Not with salt water

[smeg@feddit.uk]

Why are they drinking it with the bag still in ಠ_ಠ

[galienlifeform@lemmy.world]

Possibly, have you ever told someone to try unplugging it and then plugging it back it in?

[taalen@lemmy.world]

You're definitely making tea wrong if you're putting the tea in boiling water.

[roguetrick@lemmy.world]

Listen, if I'm using years old mass market black tea, scalding it is hardly going to make a difference.

[lugal@sopuli.xyz]

Am I? Enlighten me!

[bigbenis@lemmy.world]

This is how Americans drink tea

[taalen@lemmy.world]

It gets bitter if you use water that's too hot. For black tea you'll want to bring it to a boil, then take it off the heat and you can pretty much immediately add the tea then. For green tea you want it quite a bit cooler than that, and so forth.

[smeg@feddit.uk]

Ugh, I'd prefer you throw it in the harbour!

[taalen@lemmy.world]

I shudder at the thought of freeze dried coffee being even more fuckef up than it already is.

[lugal@sopuli.xyz]

That's basically what I do. I use a water boiler and put the boiling water into a cup or can with tea bag or more often tea strainer. Sorry if I was implying anything other than that

[crayonrosary@lemmy.world]

It's sun tea.
