Earl Gray Bravo, Part II

Well, this time I tried the Earl Gray Bravo significantly weaker than yesterday, and it was still VERY strong. But it was better. I could really taste the bergomot... very citrus-y, and mady my teeth feel sticky, like I'd just eaten a lemon. I liked the way that it blended with the tea. I didn't put sugar in it, but I should have!

Another thing, with the ingenuiTEA, I have a candy thermometer, so I was testing the temperature of the water...when it forms bubbles on the inside of the pitcher, it's about 200 degrees F. I didn't get it up to a full boil, but it was bubbling a bit...I'm discovering that the heat of the water makes a difference in how strong the tea is...
