Tea

[Typhoid]

No matter how good the tea is I always feel like I'm drinking something watered down.

This. I mean, I like tea and all - I drink maybe 5 cups a day - but occasionally I get hit with a flavour of plant-water-soup and begrudgingly drink the rest of it with the thought of "Why the fuck am I drinking plant water and animal tit-juice in a cup with crystalized chunks of plants for sweetness", and then I'll go make some coffee or something (I drink my coffee black).

But I can get 144 tea bags for 5 bucks - so right now tea is way better.

The only thing I don't like about the summer is that it becomes hard to drink warm tea

Stupidly obvious question: Have you tried cold tea? I don't mean have you tried it tried it - but do you make it during the Summer?
I thought that same thing last year, and started brewing and storing large batches of cold tea (I believe Orange Pekoe), and on hot or muggy days I'll make up a cup of cold tea like any other cup of tea, but also add ice cubes. I actually find it tastes a little better - maybe just because the day is hot by comparison.

I'm actually going to brew some storage tea right now for cold tea consumption and iced tea. The weather is getting nice. Time to be like mustard and get prepared.
