It's much quicker in an electric kettle Boris. The tea thing has a
certain amount of ceremony to it, and notwithstanding the amount of
caffeine in tea, it is much better for you than coffee. However, I am
about to spend 10 days in Spain, where coffee is drunk everywhere in
the cafes.
I don't drink as much tea now, more mint or echinacea - either with a
litte honey and lemon, no milk. But as a pick-me-up, tea with a little
milk is pretty well unbeatable.

Why would you drag around a whole kettle if there are those electric
heater thingies that seem to be so popular in Europe? ESL-what is a
kettle? I thought it is one of those humongous iron things and assume
that this is a miniature version of it?
Please, do not take this the wrong way…but mixing tea and milk…? You
have to torture me for a long time before I even consider swallowing
it (same with bagels, muffins, donuts…:) )
Speaking of milk…I am curious if there is another country in which
people drink the milk cold, straight from the fridge (see my comment
about bagels, donuts and muffins…)?
