Welcome back, Astra!! You were sorely missed by us all!
And goodmorning to everyone! A great Wednesday and I'll start it, in honor of Astra, with a mug of Ti Kuan Yin oolong tea. Not my usual morning brew but by doubling the leaves I can make it work. It sure tastes good!

Neither then, nor now. The first time I had to coax quite a lot one of the mods to point a finger to the offensive image. This time I was not informed again, but I cannot be bothered to ask. I don't care.

Very Taoist! You can not step into the same river twice, so why try. It always passes...

No killing, only photographs. My days On Her Majesty's Secret Service are long gone. I'm too old. My new number is 700 (inside joke)

I can't use plastic with tea... It always seems to give it a bad taste. Bums me out too as there are several really nice plastic travel mugs that I've seen over the years made for coffee, but when ever I try them, the tea really picks up a bad flavor. Have you ever noticed this?

I know people who make ice out of their tea as well. Fill the ice cube trays with tea. Then transfer the frozen tea into a container and store in the fridge. Your Ice Tea is less watered down and you can do it at the same time as you make large pots of tea to store in the fridge for an easy drink on the go.

I do this often, but I had to go out and find metal ice cube trays. The plastic ones ruin the taste for me. I found a couple of old metal ones at thrift stores... the old type with the lever handle.

Ginger tea takes a LOT of getting used to! We usually keep a bottle on dive boats. It's fun stuff to grow too. Just put a large chunk under about 3" of very, very sandy soil and water every two weeks. Puts up some interesting flowers, and when you want to use it, you can dig it up, chop off a 'finger' and just stick it back into the soil!
And now... a second cup of Ti Kuan Yin! Welcome back, Astra!
