Do you prefer loose leaf? I have a tea ball i never use. I guess the bags are just easier...and I'm lazy.

I like loose-leaf better. I can make a stronger cup. I also have loose-leaf rose hip, hibiscus.

Do you have more than one cup?

Sometimes I make a quart of extra strong rose hip/hibiscus tea and add honey. Makes great iced tea served over ice. I also have a ceramic tea pot with a diffuser and I make one or two hot pots of oolong if DD(s) are here.

Yeah, I'm the only tea drinker. My DH prefers coffee but will occasionally drink peppermint tea if he's not feeling well. I'm just a 1 cupper though. I use my electric kettle. Years ago I would have "tea" at 4 or 5 and do the production with sandwiches and such. I still have my set somewhere packed away. That was from before I met my husband.

I would rather loose leaf and when googling around it's Rooibos tea I was after, the red one.

I've never had that one but I read it's very healthy.

I think some people will drink disgusting stuff for health benefits but most people want something that tastes good, too!

After my hip replacement I would eat a blob, about a gram, of turmeric "paste" that I made for inflammation management. It tasted horrible but was better than continuing the course I had for years of eating ibuprofen at max dose.

Have you ever tried golden tea (also called golden milk)? You can make it with nut milks, too. It's pretty darned delicous.

It's ringing a bell but no.

I am sure that there are hundreds of recipes out there, but I like mine with almond milk, turmeric powder, cinnamon, honey, and black pepper.
