Microwave v Kettle
My kettle broke this evening, tripping off the tripper switch each time I tried to get it working.Eventually gave up with the kettle and microwaved a mug of water. After I'd got the water boiling in the mug, I popped in the Tbag.
Not a patch on tea made with kettled boiled water
Why is that?

I had to work that one out Primus
With the kettle water I usually put the Tbag into the mug first and then add boiling water.
With the m/wave, I figured the Tbag might not like the m/ve so I boiled the water first and then added the Tbag.

HiIt is all to do with the temperature of the water.

Oh No, Pesta. Get a new kettle quick!I visited one of our quiz team members recently and he asked if l'd like a cup of tea. I said, 'Yes, that would be nice'!!
I then wished l hadn't as he put a cup of water in the microwave and then dropped a teabag in it. All could think of was nuclear stuff in my tea and l would get cancer!
Drama queen, l know but l have a vivid imagination!!

...just quickly scanned through and saved it for reading shortly ...so there is a difference in taste. Interesting about the Green Tea bit. I like Green Tea with mint, but prefer PG most of the time edited umpteen times
