I just throw the tea bags in the pot and let it seep. Yep! But then I come from the UK and I think we actually have more powerful kettles then other nations cus we aren't good at waiting for a kettle to boil. It might actually be why ou electricity mains voltage is higher than other countries? |

Thank you (or not? lol) for sharing! I can't help but to buy a couple myself.
Has anyone here made their own personal blends for their Wardens/Inquisitors? I'm thinking of creating one to order with some other DA tins

I just throw the tea bags in the pot and let it seep. Generally we Americans drink the Dirt Tea that is not sensitive to heat in any fashion and must be improved by tons of sugar. A good herbal is delicious, sugar free, but I have to bring my water to just before boiling, pour in the fancy cast iron tea pot. Pour back in the stove pot, bring to almost a boil again. Back into tea pot, and then steep for so many minutes before pulling the strainer and putting to the side. |

It took much less time for me to boil some water on the stove than it takes for her kettle to heat up. I'm guessing from the use of "mom" you're from the US? I don't think your kettles are as powerful as the UK (I can't remember if it's cus of the design or the fact the UK has electricty main of 240 V and US 120 V - I remember reading an article about it). Anyway here, it's definetly quicker to use the kettle. Often when I'm cooking, like to boil some potatoes or veg, I'll first use the kettle to boil the water as it takes so much less time than just using the hob. Edit: Since this kettle vs no kettle debate is obviously very important (  ), I found proof of UK vs US differences in kettleness link |

Though I know nothing about how to make my own blend I just added flavors I knew I've had together before that would fit her. Inquisitor Blodwedd Blend Blended with: Black Tea, White Tea, Apple Pieces, Natural Peach Flavor, Marigold Flowers, Apricots, Natural Pear Flavor, Natural Forest Berries Flavor, Raspberry Leaves, Raspberries & Strawberries Teas: Peach, White Pear, Forest Berries. Accented with Apple Pieces The cover for it imgur.com/a/FSYf5Also on the Kettle topic, I own an older one. Not a fancy electric one. |

Individual leaves are rolled into little pellets. Though gun powder - or rather smokeless nitro powder- comes in many shapes and forms to alter its surface area and thus its ignition speed and pressure. Sticks, flakes, balls, or any of those shapes with holes in them. |
