I dislike the tool you used. Ok, I LOVE mine, but given the fact that you have the option of using your Breville, I hate it. Hehe;) This ain’t bad, even to me.

Those balls look awesome. I love watching pearls unfurl. Loved the photos on your blog!

@Cofftea but i couldn’t watch them if they were in the breville
@malomorgen really? i usually make 750ml at a time minimum unless i am going to go through a few teas right in a row
@Meghann M thanks :)

Oh yeah… I knew the kettle part was clear, but I forgot about the basket.

I agree w/ malomorgen, the only teas I make in that quantity are chai or iced.

i don’t drink soda i drink tea, and more tea, i drink, at minimum, 1 grande (16oz) no water soy chai latte from starbucks (usually more like 2), 3 8 ounce teaas made with the flavia machine during work (sometimes i use 2x 12oz for the kati in addition or instead of), then when i come home at least 2 750ml breville steeps…and that’s on a slow day

lol before starting to drink tea i used to go through a day with a glass or two of water at times. i know that wasnt healthy but i just wasnt thirsty enough to go and get some. now with tea that’s more like 5-10 cups. just cuz i really like drinking it.
respect to your bladder lol

Cofftea 2010-05-31 17:49:00 -0400

LOL! I would totally drink more tea if my bladder could handle it malomorgen:) I drink as much as AmazonV does, I just make smaller quantities at a time.

AmazonV 2010-05-31 21:03:01 -0400

lol at least my bladder can get some respect ;)
