Tango: Which one of you was gonna tell me that tea tastes different if you put it in hot water? Ren: Y- you were putting it in cold water? Jimmy: Tango? Answer the question Tango? Tango: Yeah? I thought for like, 5 years, that people just put it in hot water to speed up the tea-ification process. Didn't realize there was an actual reason. Jimmy: You don't have the patience to microwave water for 3 minutes?!? Grian: Why are you putting it in the microwave to boil it? Jimmy: Do you think I have the patience to boil water on the stove? Grian: It takes less than a minute! Jimmy: Grian, is your stove powered by the freaking sun?!? Grian: How long does it take you to boil a cup of water on the stove?!? Jimmy: Like, seven minutes? Grian: Just stick the mug on top of the stove on medium heat, and it boils in like two minutes. Less than that and you use a saucepan. Jimmy: You're putting the whole mug on the stove??? On medium heat??? Your stove is enchanted! Lizzie: Every person in this server is a freaking lunatic. Joel: DO NONE OF YOU OWN A BLUMMIN' KETTLE?!?!?!

Honestly even if you don't drink tea, get a kettle. Cheap, sits on the counter next to your toaster, much faster to boil water than on the stove and you can leave it unattended while you go do something else for a couple minutes, you can then use that hot water for cooking or cleaning or whatever.

Cold infused tea does taste great but it takes so long to make (you gotta make it at least the night before). 😩👌 Especially ice cold barley tea or green tea! Because it’s infused in cold water instead of hot water, it has less tannins, so the tea is less bitter and doesn’t have that starchy mouthfeel. It’s more smooth. 10/10 very refreshing and great for the summer.
