Second steeping!
Still delicious!
I just want to make a giant pot of this, set it on my desk and keep refilling my cup all afternoon. I would obviously have to think of a way to keep the pot warm (samovar) that would not involve fire (…electric samovar?) and did not cost over a hundred dollars (…I got nuffin)

I don’t know if this would be what you needed, but tea cozies keep tea pretty warm for awhile. My mom has one and she said that you can keep a pot warm for several hours. Here is a link: http://www.englishteastore.com/tea-cozies-snuggie-cozies.html.

ooooh, tea cozies, of course! I wonder if I can knit one…

Check out Ravelry.com. I searched really quickly and found at least one free tea cozy pattern. What I think would be awesome is to combine a tea cozy pattern with one of their Cthulu Hat patterns for the coolest tea cozy ever!

Ewa

Ha! not only can I knit one, I can knit one SHAPED LIKE AN ELEPHANT. Or a jack o lanter, or a cactus or an…artichoke? Seventeen pages of tea cozy patterns, Ravelry? REALLY?

Rabs

ROFL! 17? I just glanced and didn’t look at the total. The elephant one made me think of Cthulu…

Ewa

Well the last two pages kind of switch over to tea cozy hats, but still! excessive! Sadly, I can’t do the elephant one because I need one that’s open at the top since that’s where Ivan’s handle is ;_;

Bio

I’m a Pole who grew up in Texas, is currently a graduate student in California studying Japan. How’s THAT for random?

Being Polish, my family has always drunk a lot of tea, and I am no different. I may drink more tea than water. On the other hand, I can’t say that I’m very particular about it; I’m generally pretty careless with steeping times and water temperature and I don’t even have a proper teapot (mostly because the lid broke during the move to California ;_;).

I always drink my tea unsweetened and I only add milk in the case of the most egregiously chai-ish of chais. (not really a big fan of milk in general)

Given that so many of my entries seem to be about my morning tea, I felt I should add something here about me and mornings: I fail at mornings. I fail at them a LOT. Therefore I often also fail at proper tea making in the mornings.
