how to make a cup of tea

As an Englishman who has resided in the US for over a decade I can assure that in the 200+ years since Americans dumped tea in the cold salty water of Boston Harbor they have not improved their tea making skills very much at all. Needless to say when I found a “how to make a cup of tea” t-shirt at How2tshirts.com I jumped at the chance to write about it :-)

All the How2tshirts describe how to do something from curing hangovers, to milking cows, they all come with a unique design, and full instructions printed on the inside of the shirt. Love the idea, the t-shirts look great, my one complaint is the flash based website that does not allow me to deep link to individual t-shirts, and the photos of the products aren’t big enough either.

INSTRUCTIONS PRINTED ON THE INSIDE OF THE T-SHIRT:

    I just emailed them telling them to use a pot for brewing next time and they swiftly replied, how nice

    I agree, using a teapot is preferable but when making just one cup, this method is easier. Perhaps they should do a version for the UK on how to make a Good cup of coffee. Also love the slight manga style to the illustrations.

    @Ben, totally agree the pot is the way to go, critical step they miss is of course “warming the pot” before you put the tea in there and then pour the “boiling” water over it :-) I’ve got to admit though since living in the states i almost exclusively drink coffee. It is interesting when I go back to England and hang out with my family how much tea I start automatically drinking again.
