I can't get myself to even consider this. Growing up, we had teabags -
Tetley, Lipton, whatever. How ever many people were having tea - that's
how many cups you got out of that one teabag. The teabag was put into a
little covered glass canister, and into the refrigerator, where it would
stay until it was used again and again. When people would no longer
consider using it for drinking tea, my grandmother would save it, in
case she needed to "tea" a stained tablecloth, napkin, etc. Even as a
child, I would refuse tea unless I was given a new teabag; happy to
share with everyone, but I wanted a new tea bag! I don't think I could
ever get past this enough to have multiple infusions!
