If this works, I'll buy online later. I'll be picking them up today.

How much do you drink? What is "a few sips"? 2 ounces, 4 ounces? How long does the tea last you in the frig?
I take 3 or 4 sips. So maybe that's 1/4 of a cup of the tea. I've never drank more than that at any one time.

In the fridge, maybe it lasts 3 days. Never more because I don't make that much.

As the water simmers down, it maybe makes 2 cups of tea. So a few sips every day, well, if there is any left over I would throw it out.

But actually, because I don't make that much, I usually don't have any left over.

I guess I could down it as a shot in one gulp, but I'm so used to taking small sips, that's how I do it.

Don't know why.

I bet you could freeze it in ice cube trays and every day (or more if needed), take out two ice cubes, put in shot glass or small cut and you'd have your tea for that day??

Never thought of that, but that would work.

lol
