I use Lipton decaffeinated tea. I make it in the coffee maker. It
doesn't seem as good as brewed on the stove. I was thinking about running the tea thru the maker twice. Good idea? |

sorry i got all dizzy and blurry after decaffeinated tea ...
what do you mean you make it in the coffee maker?! you put the tea bag in the filter holder and let water drip on it? or you have a pod machine? these are designed to extract all the "flavor" in the first pass, so running a 2nd time would only dilute your final drink. |

I don't think so. A tolerance for caffeine is the main thing that distinguishes us from the insects. /Lew --- Lew Perin / http://www.panix.com/~perin/babelcarp.html |

It's best when it's around boiling temperature, I've heard different temps, but I actually made very good tea at around 195 degrees at least from one black tea. Coffee maker is probably lower, maybe a little lower than 180, so it's not very good for coffee either. Running it 2nd time will not do anything for the temperature. Drip coffee makers are unsuitable for making black teas, and in fact for making good coffee either, because, if i remember right, good coffee requires around 200 degrees, and drip coffee makers are lower than that. Aside from this, it will also make tea smell like coffee.. |

Sounds great! Don't forget to add the peanut butter, some of the oil from the sardine tin, and just a LITTLE bit of the syrup from a bottle of marascino cherries for that extra little something. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

During a commercial break on the Food Netwok, Alton Brown showed how
he can have a hot breakfast in a hotel room by making instant oatmeal in the coffee maker. He adds honey and jam or jelly, but I'm thinking it will still have a coffee flavor. Probably tolerable to coffee drinkers, but I doubt I would like it. And he only ran it through once. ;-) Alan |
