a mega cuppa tea

Maybe I'm just too lazy to use a teapot, though I have a couple of cute little ones.

Bill installed an instant-hot tap in our pantry, near the tea stash (a little shelf full of tea varieties). Even when using loose-leaf teas, I prefer to just infuse it right in my really big mug, then remove the infuser.

This mug even fits in a cup holder in the car, allowing me to take it along. I'm so glad the days of excessive heat seem to be behind us now . . . I missed my daily hot tea.
