    From Dim Witte@21:1/5 to All on Wed Apr 26 01:38:13 2023
    Previously I described my coffee-making technique, using Columbia caffeine-free beans and old-fashioned glass percolator. Now I have for your delectation my frugal-living method of making tea.

    I order a caffeine-free green tea from Amazon, probably what they call Dragon Well, or lung ching, maybe Davidson's. Black tea bags a second choice.

    Then I prepare tea thusly:
    1) heat water (I use distilled water and Brita carbon filter) to near boiling or when you hear it simmering (4 1/2 minutes on high).
    2) position large insulated cup underneath a plastic paper filter holder.
    3) add tea, about two teaspoons, into filter.
    2) pour hot water into filter. large Melita paper filter from Amazon fits snugly into same size plastic holder. Adjust filter fit as necessary.
    3) after steeping for 4 minutes, drain the plastic holder by means of its trap door with release lever, using a piece of plastic or other means. Allow a couple minutes for tea to drain into cup.

    So that's two cups of tea prepared in 10 minutes.

    Could add favorites, like cream and sugar, honey, etc.. I use a keto friendly sugar substitute like Stevia.
