I just try and get the water warm enough. For as much as I love tea, I drink it weak.
My personal favorite are the handrolled balls of jasmine green tea. They unfurl like like alien tentacles. Also it smells heavenly.
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Deleted! Hee! Poor Emily. I'm taunting her.
Dammit! Just so you all know, I'm back now. So no hints.
I thought I was going to do some homework once I got home, but... well, there was CSI. And then there was more CSI, and Back to the 80's. And now there's Criminal Intent.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Oh, I found mine. Want I should send it? I brought it home to mail on Monday. I just forgot to tell you
Hee! Yes, please, that would make me much happier than the current one.

Jilli and Pete, I am so sorry to hear about Dread Beastie.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Apparently Alton Brown says you don't want to actually boil the water because of the potential of releasing chemicals that might be in the water.
My solution to this is bottled water for tea.
Best to use water fresh from the cold tap, as well-oxygenated water makes the best tea.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

All is well that ends in pizza.
I should note that I have apparently made many cups of tea the DA way, just that I planned to do it with the book open in tribute. Sadly, I only borrowed the book to read, and I thought at the time it was more complicated. It must have been the swishing. I generally don't swish.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
