I started using the tea kettle to make my hot teas. What the hell! No way can anyone drink a cuppa for at least half an hour because it's too damn hot!

1. Are you putting milk in?

If not, then leave a bit of space, and add cold water instead of milk to cool it after it has brewed, if you want to drink it quickly.

2. Good to know. Thanks.

3. well i know scots are from the future, thats why there are so many inventors from there

4. a brew is meant to be hot as its to warm you up on a cold july day

Now a cuppa can be cooled with milk for watching the telly, but the ultimate is the NATO standard, milk and two sugars paired with a jaffa cake.

5. Jaffa cake is now on my list along with Canadian macaroons

6. also try tunnocks caramel log, penguins, and a snowball if you can find one.

7. How about a Mcvities digestive biscuit?

Oh yes...

[wickerwoman]

21. Or go straight for the Hob Nobs.

One nibble and you're nobbled.

[loli phabay]

22. hob nobs are better with ovaltine, or bovril with chocolate ones

No idea but as it is written it is so.

[dipsydoodle]

8. lol

You can't dunk Jaffa Cakes - uses digestives.

[loli phabay]

9. who says. lol, best thing ever is being freezing with a hot brew

Had milk but no sugar so we dropped a jaffa cake in the mugs, omg it was like a hot helping of calf poop but tasted awesome. For me its gotta be a plain chocolate digestive, also got to admit to bourbon creams dunked.

10. I can remember making it with snow

near the top of Creag Meagaidh , middle of the night , sitting in a snow hole........and drinking malt whisky from the bottle and I don't even like whisky.

11. so you like hiking, every done stob gahbar in the black mount

Corrie a ba is awesome. I prefer irn bru when in the snow.

[dipsydoodle]

12. That was a one off,

back in the 70's on an Outward Bound course for managers, learning how to snow hole , white water kayak etc. Went farcically wrong anyway - got buried under about 12 foot of fresh snow and spin drift and wasn't aware of that until the candles went out...........

[loli phabay]

14. lol, glen spean is a rough area when the snows come

I used to love moidart, it was artic in the winter. Always lovwd the extremes from desert, jungle to artic. Something about walking away from them always makes you feel alive.

19. meant to do a psa on melting snow for a brew, little bit in the pot at a time

If you dump a lot of snow in you sometimes end up with little snowmelt in the bottom and just snow higher up, a little dab will do you and just keep adding as the water heats and melts it.

13. Put ice in it if you don't want milk.

Since there's water in it anyways.

[loli phabay]

15. no no no, omg thats sacrilege. ice in a nice earl grey. ;)

[Neoma]

16. Only enough to cool it down.

Not enough to make it cold tea, yuck.

[loli phabay]

17. no no no, proper etiquette is to pour some in you saucer and drink from that

Disclaimer, for gods sake.dont do that in polite company ie the vicar or the colonel.

[pinboy3niner]

18. The colonel in these parts doesn't get his knickers twisted so easily

It takes a LOT to offend Colonel Angus.

[Art_from_Ark]

20. Unless your guest is a *dirty* vicar

Then it would probably be OK

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

23. I thought you just soak the scone, and drink from that.

Or cool it down with a wee bit of scotch.
