I think tea bags have too much in them for a single cup, bit of a waste.

We use one bag for two mugs.

How do you do that, if you make it in the mug? Please don't tell me you re-use old bags!
I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

It isn't rocket science. I put the tea bag in the mug pour on boiling water, add a drop of milk, stir it round then put it into the second mug and repeat the process, then put the bag in the compost bin. My husband and I only have two mugs of tea per day, two cups of instant coffee, and the rest of the time drink water. My husband has to drink plenty of water due to one of his health problems.

I believe one of our sons-in-law likes to reuse old tea bags, not something I wouldn't do.

But you've just described how you do re-use old bags!

The eldest has just received a promotion and is in the process of getting up to speed; the middle one is still working from home which gives ger the plus of not having to put up with indigestion from the canteen food; the youngest has got an interview next week with a new school to start at the beginning of the September term (a pagan working in a Catholic school !!!???)!

Thus they are all, so far, well!

Thanks for asking - their mother and aunt are still being watched after having been isolated by the hospitals they work in!
