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?


You'd better ask *HIM* that. I don't understand the concept of cold

tea.....

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

Why did you rush if the tea was cold?


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.


OK. I'll buy that.

Why did you leave it until morning?

Because, uncivilized beast that he is, he likes *cold* tea as
well as hot, and until he goes to bed, it's uncertain how much of
the tea in the pot is surplus. And when bedtime rolls around,
he's too tired and sleepy to deal with it.

Additionally, he's been known to start the day with a cuppa cold
tea while the water boiled for a fresh pot.
