Got your attention there didn't I? Brian, I drink my tea straight, no milk or cream, a little sugar, but just as hot as I can drink it. With the arrival of the microwave, I've quit boiling water and putting it in a teapot. I simply put a microwave mug in the microwave and heat my tea for 1 min. 55 seconds, then take it out immediately and put the teabag in. Then stir in my teaspoon of sugar and steep the teabag while I put my oatmeal in the microwave. Then I take my teabag out and drink it before I try to eat.

It didn't work at first when I got home from Mayo, but I've found that with time, and concious scheduling time, it works very regularly.
