Twice? Stay clear of them. They clearly aren't right in the head

Only because at my age I usually forget if I even boiled it in the first place. So many times I’ve poured cold water into my coffee cup. So now I boil again just to be sure. But with my memory, I can boil it 3 or 4 times before someone says “ you do realise you’ve boiled that already”

Yeah I do. If I get caught chatting or phone rings etc. It has to go from literally boiling into my mug.

I do sometimes! I like my tea really hot. In my mind if I don’t pout it straight away it loses some of its heat! Nonsense I’m sure but that’s how I think

This. But it needs to be properly hot for tea making.

Using boiling water doesn't make a strong brew.

Is scalds tea leaves and gives a lesser flavour.

Allowing the kettle to cool for 3-5 mins makes an excellent brew.

FACT...

Only way to get a good strong cup of water is just boiled and poured directly onto the floating Tea Bag which bloats like a puffer fish on contact.

This is why I re-boil the Kettle otherwise is a soggy wet slop at the bottom of the cup.

Best brew is a 'fizzy' bag caused by boiling water to release the tannins.

You'll know what I mean if you see it yourself.

I boil flasks during the day to use the free Solar and believe me, a 'free energy' cup of tea tastes so much better. 5x flasks per day saving £200 a year and the planet in boiling kettles, just re-boiling at night enough to fill the cups.

In a nice tea shop in Cambridge , I think it was, ........ the sales people tell us precisely how to make the tea with the variety of leaves we buy.

The blend/leaves I like to buy need water at 85 degrees... not boiling... to release their flavour to perfection.

Yes, of course. Much like Nora's 'got distracted' excuse, I think my record is four boils before pour!

it gets worse though... I do like a brew to stew, so have been known to have to microwave my cuppa to make it drinkable again!

Okay Steph Okay ! Calm down luv.......

It's different for different teas.

Honestly there's mountains of info out there BUT ....

Use water that has cooled for at LEAST 3 mins for green or white tea.

At lease one min or two mins for Black tea.

I use a water thingy not a kettle and the water is never boiling ........ just what we , very sophisticatedly call, bloody hot.

Well I was brought up by my grandparents and the kettle would be boiled then poured straight into the teapot with the tea cosy put on it and left for 5 minutes before any of us were allowed to have our tea poured into a cup!

Mine is one of the Breville ones where you have to boil it for each cup. Annoying, when filling up a cafetière...
