Whoa there partner. Let's not go so fast. Not all of us have PhDs in cooking. Now this boiling water you speak of-what uses are there for such an aqueous preparation?


Making tea, for one. I'm sure Sprior or Dixie can explain it better, but basically you boil some water, put some dried grass in it (no, not THAT kind of grass!) and drink it.


Leaves, sir, leaves....not grass......

Just in case you missed sprior's post.....

Dried leaves actually.


There are many different approaches to the institution that is tea.

Some people prefer teabags, whilst I find that the best flavour is achieved with loose tea.
And don't forget the actual type of tea, Earl Grey? Assam? Darjeeling? Or one of those gay ones with added flavours like vanilla or something.
Do you want to add milk or sugar? How strong do you want your drink? Some people add the milk before the hot water, some after. It's an entire world of potential choices

I prefer loose for hot tea and bags for ice tea. The latter being more of a convenience thing than flavor, since we cold-brew our ice tea. Cold water in pitcher, tea bags in pitcher, pitcher in fridge....in the morning, ice tea.

FYI, these folks have some excellent teas: http://www.harney.com/

So does most of Europe have a five-day weekend at Easter? I'm lucky to have a four-day here. Most have 3 at best.

We annually visit the Grand Floridian Resort in Walt Disney World to take part in the afternoon tea. Our favorite tea selection is the Gardenview Blend, which is specially made for them...mostly black tea I believe.

We like to bring a tin home with us so we can enjoy it throughout the year. I highly recommend it if you ever get near Mouse World, plus the trifle is superb!

No no no... We couldn't possibly recognize a (GASP) religious holiday at a University. We get bupkis. Nada. You wanna day off? You take a vacation day for Good Friday. It blows.

To be more accurate - Easter is normally a four-day weekend. However, Maundy Thursday is a half working day. Most people (that are able to) take out a half-day vacation to get the entire day off.

Well, here, working for the governement allow me to have my saturday/sunday AND Monday because it's a day off. No 4 days week end here
(but 3 days week end is not so bad....well, at least when not going to funerals).
