Well Phlip, you could leave the Dark Side and learn to drink tea like
right-thinking folk ;-D) Boil water. put tea bag or ball in cup. Pour water
in cup. Wait.
Aaaahhhh...
Of course there's other dangers. The other day I heard the water come to
boil, thought "huh- I don't remember putting it on." No matter, my mug was
empty, so I shuffled into the kitchen and poured myself another cup of tea.
Was refilling the pot when Regina came in, looked at me and exclaimed "You
stole my water!" D'oh!
I do have my sweetie trained in the art of plying me with tea however. When
I'm especially pliable, my eyeballs are practically floating. ;-)
