I quit coffee about a year ago, but I like hot tea sometimes. Not daily
like I used to do coffee. I bought an electric kettle which has already
been used so many times I can't imagine ever being without one. Not just
for tea, but for boiling water quicker than on the stove, for soup, for
many things. I also bought a little tea pot with a strainer and a
starter set of flavored loose tea that was posted here, probably by
Sheldon, a couple of weeks ago. It makes really good tea that steeps
quickly and can easily be used for iced tea after the tea steeps and
cools a little.
