Tea Tip- You've Burned Your Tongue For the Last Time.

If you drink your tea from a coffee mug you have probably been waiting an half-hour to drink the stuff or burning your tongue- like me.

Save your taste buds and find a porcelain tea cup. You can likely borrow one from your grandmother. These are the kind that come with a saucer - handy for holding teabags and spoons.

A friend explained to me that tea cups made of porcelain allow the teas to cool to drinking temperature quickly so you can drink it in a few minutes. It works!

It seems odd since porcelain is a well known insulator but my tea is quickly drinkable in my porcelain teacup. Maybe it's the shape and not the porcelain in any case, bottoms up!
