        Well the older family members this Xmas season will need to make do with butter cookies. Not sure they will get use to so few ingredients in them though as they are imported from Denmark.

    We put water and a tea bag in the MICROWAVE and we heat it up and dump a bit of sugar in it and we leave the MILK in the fridge.

    Actually I’m in OK, so we make it by the gallon and put it in the fridge.

      A bit? Dude, I ordered a tea from a restaurant and went into a diabetic coma from how much sugar was in it.

        I live in Ohio and have to order half cut to not feel sick from all the excess sugar.

        The South took the sweet in sweet tea way to fuckin literally and it’s spread all over

    Put your tea bag in the mug and put it in the microwave. Tea is ready when it comes out. Also makes the Brits upset.

      Unsweetened was bad enough. People up north just forgetting it used to involve water? Just crunching on hot tea bags?

        Unsweetened isn’t a thing. That implies that it was sweetened, and then the sweetening was somehow undone. You have tea and you have sweetened tea. It’s just like an uncircumcised dick. That implies that the circumcision was undone somehow you put the foreskin back

          No, that would de-sweetened like decaffeinated coffee. The ‘un’ prefix does not implicity imply a reversal. Like how you can be unemployed without first having a job or unmarried without first being married.

    Well then how do you do it?

    Just boil some milk and throw in a tea-bag. By the time it cools to room temp, it’s ready to add the sugar!
