How to make hot tea by the Mad Hatter.
I enjoy a good cup of tea. When the subject of a conversation needs to change I will ask, “How is the color of the tea today?”It usually perplexes for we will say this even if we don’t have a cup of tea. Then everyone laughs and the subject of conversation changes. Tea is a big part of family tradition.
I found this story from the Mad Hatter. How to make Hot Tea (A.K.A Uncold Tea). Start at the beginning (and when you come to the end..stop). This sounds – simply stated – as a truth in life. Pour hot water over one tea bag in your cup and steep for 2 to 3 minutes (we recommend your clock be 2 days slow). That is MAD (crazy) as my clock is my phone and good tea is made in a tea pot. The recipe for a pot of tea is one bag per person and one for the tea pot. Add milk to the tea cup and add tea as to warm up the teacup , not add milk last and cool the tea down.
Mad Hatter: Move down the table to get a clean cup.
Interesting, but no. I have just read ‘A Grandfather’s Lessons’ and Shorey Pepin, has a better way getting a clean tea cup. Clearing the table and re-setting in chapter one….but then not to argue with the Mad hatter’s perspective – how is the color of tea today?
Frances, you have a quick wit and a gift for bringing food to life. I enjoyed reading your thoughts on Mad Hatter tea. When you have a tea party make sure to take photos and blog! I enjoy a good cup – sans milk.
Lewis Carroll had a great sense of adventure with his characters: ‘Take some more tea’ said the March hare to Alice. “I’ve had nothing yet, so I can’t take more.(Alice).” Mad Hatter: You mean you can’t take less, it’s very easy take more than nothing!!
Keep up the good work! I look forward to more posts, recipes and culinary ideas from the budding chef herself…
