I simply use a 4 cup Mr Coffee drip coffee maker devoted to tea. Probably does take 60 seconds. I use only loose tea. Makes a fine cuppa.:)

Darker the better.

My scone recipe has been perfected methinks.
You can't buy a good clotted cream in the States so I've turned to making my own.

I have to remind my wife she hasn't baked scones for quite a while
Unfortunately I'm extremely intolerant of cream
But I'll happily put up with a couple of hours of discomfort just to enjoy ones like these 😍

Kinda like how dry/moist do you like xyz blend before loading your pipe.
Hardly. A cup of tea is of far more importance!
Empires have been lost & marriages crumbled due to a below par cup of tea. A poorly prepared pipe can be knocked out & started again. A bad cup of tea in the morning will ruin the day!
Cappuccinos won't do you any good........ Look what it does to the Italians!

NOOOO :eek: .....the cream goes on the TOP, not the jam, that's the wrong (Devon) way.

This is the correct (Cornish) way....:col:

The Ceredigion way (not that there is such thing. But we are tight fisted).
Is like the Cornish way, except you put every bit of cream you have been provided on top. Even if you have been given far too much cream.
