I drink mine from a mug. Honestly, it's bigger. I want a lot of tea, not just a teeny cup.

How to make a 'proper' cup of tea!

 

It is a well-known fact that since the Americans tried to make tea in Boston Harbour, using harbour water, they have had a hard time making a 'proper' cup of tea! 

As a 'proper' Englishwoman, I will instruct those of you (especially all my friends in the Boston area) that wish to learn, how to make a 'proper' cup of tea the English way. 

You will need :  ..........................

 

A mug, that is what you will need.

That it is! 

 

Honestly, I didn't realize that drinking tea from a mug was an American thing, but I can see it now that I think about it.

And a South African, it appears.

Wait... Maybe we are the normal ones and the British and Japanese are the odd ones? I shall choose to believe this. :)

I think I'm even more of an abomination: I only drink iced tea.

I drink mine out of a gigantic plastic cup!

Red solo?
*lol* No, a 24oz Tervis cup. I have a plethora of them and take tea with me every day to work. Delicious!

 

Haha. Mashi we have a local tea place that serves iced tea in big mason jars. You would love it.

That sounds so yummy, Doselan! My sister works at a tea shop but they don't use mason jars. I buy all my loose leaf from her shop and it's so good!

One of my favorite restaurant serves mint iced tea in mason jars.  Love it.

Yeah this place sells loose leaf like "healing honeysuckle" and "strawberry sassafras" and "applecart blossom". They are sooooo good.

mason jars?

 

is it something like this ?

Yeah basically. Minus the handle, plus a lid with a straw through it. Though if you opt to get it hot, they give it to you in a cup that won't burn your hand off. Haha

Ah, we also have a place that does the mason jar thing.

Only thing that should be drank from a mason jar comes from a rusty still in someone's abandoned farmhouse by the creek. When it is drank you should question the safety of drinkin said hooch. 

Hahaha.  Just don't drink the first batch.  That's basically jet fuel. 

 

Here is that tea place I was talking about.

 

And here is a jar full.  :)
