I
take a teapot to all Woodlawn School events where we PTA ladies are providing
beverages.
The sight of people squeezing
out teabags into polystyrene beakers with their fingers offends my sensibilities.
Especially at 'posh' events when they're
suited and booted. It just looks awful and makes a mess.
Most teabags can actually make three cups of
reasonable tea if left to brew so it's wasteful as well.
Use
a teapot.
Even
better use loose tea and a strainer - that way you
can get exactly the strength of tea you want.
And you're not using up all those little bits of
perforated paper and string that go into making up the bags, so it's greener
tea too.
8 teabags in a catering teabag serves a hall full of tea drinkers! Able to serve them all within an interval. Queue moves smoothly onward. Clear up so much quicker and cleaner. Don’t agree with loose tea for mass catering though!
ReplyDeleteI agree with not using loose tea for mass catering, although swift use of a tea strainer is possible. In the days before teabags, according to my mother, at village hall events Mrs Lloyd Trem-y-wawr used to make a normal sized pot of exceedingly strong 'starter' tea with many spoons of loose leaf, allow it to brew then pour it through a strainer into the catering sized pot which would be filled up to the brim with boiling water from the urn.
