Why did you rush if the tea was cold?

Hell, Mary, any dedicated tea-drinker will know the answer to that!

Not this one!

You're not sufficiently dedicated, or you'd be hurrying out so you could
make the next pot.....

Any thoughts on suitability for using tea leaves in garden etc or for
clearing sink drain ?

Good for plants/compost; bad for drains.

I wonder *how* your mother believes tea leaves 'clear' a drain. And of
what. Obviously it can't be the wet leafiness, or she'd be throwing
down celery tops and spinach. If it's supposed to be some chemical
action, would tea be safe to drink? I don't fancy drinking dilute
drain-cleaner.

Lots of people do though - Coca Cola is an ace drain and bog cleaner.

I'm so dedicated I don't make it - I have my personal tea maker. But the
poster said that he poured YESTERDAY'S cold tea on it. Why didn't he do it
yesterday?

Because I was usually only dressed in my skivvies (if that) at
that time of the day and rushed so as to narrow the neighbors'
window of opportunity for seeing me en deshabille.

Nor do I. Not in the pot anyway. Because I don't take milk I'm happy to
drink it cold.
