[quote=Anonymous]If you are putting milk in it then of course it won't be strong - or hot, unless you heat the milk. You are diluting it. I like plain black tea and green tea, and also some flavored black teas. Most of them are not supposed to be made with actually boiling water - green tea, in particular, should be less than boiling. You only need to steep 3-4 minutes for most teas. If you are looking for a strong tea flavor, steep Lipton in near-boiling water for about 3 minutes and don't dilute it. Lipton is the only tea I will sometimes sugar. If you want to experiment with flavors, I like the chocolate flavor tea from Harney & Sons, and the Almond flavor from Republic of Tea. Harney also makes interesting loose leaf teas if you decide to go down that road, but I wouldn't invest in a strainer etc. if it turns out you just don't like tea.[/quote]
