This poor, poor tea. It didn’t deserve what I did to it this weekend. I tried so many different ways to heat water during our 36-hour power outage, but getting water hot enough to properly steep it just wasn’t in the cards.
The closest we came to a proper cup was when I stuffed extra tea lights into my teapot warmer, but even then it would only be lukewarm once it did everything it could do to steep.
I did manage to get a little crafty, but alas, without tea:

We did 8 days without power some years ago, courtesy of a wicked ice storm; one of the coldest and most miserable weeks I can remember. We grilled soup. The first real cuppa when the lights came back on was heavenly.
Yeah… a miserable time. Sorry you had to go through that, but glad to hear you made it through okay. Like you, I’m delighted it’s over! I’m very, very grateful that we’re back up. There are still something like 130,000 customers still without power down here. It’s funny… we roughed it more in Dallas than I did living in Alaska!
Cute addition to a tea infuser!
Thank you!
