Just like the old days. The tea bag burst, I remembered that one used to let the tea settle so that the leaves dropped to the bottom, this worked, also I remembered to leave a little tea at the bottom of the cup! Nothing beats experience! ;-)
I think someone has just invented a novel device to help you out - it's called a tea strainer.
what was your reading ? ......
I put gravy granules in the cafetiere two days running. After that I did the gravy granules from myself.

Why aren't you using leaf tea? Tea bags contain 25% plastic.
A nearby cafe we frequent provides milk and gravy in very similar jugs. In a senior moment I reached out for a jug without looking and you guessed it poured gravy in the tea, I cannot recommend the concoction but it did put a smile on all the waiting staff.

I no longer have a tea pot or strainer!
Teabags are a lot more convenient when you only want a single cup.

Wierd! I find making tea with a tea-bag a right faff in comparison with using a small (two cup) pot and leaf tea. All that fishing about for the tea bag and squeezing it, uses a teaspoon as well which I don't otherwise use. (There's a measure permanently in the tea caddy for spooning tea into the pot)
at school in the 1950s, we lost our cook and, for a short time, had our lunch from the local school meals service. Each course has with it the contents of a container with a thick grey liquid - one marked 'gravy' and the other 'custard' . I reckon they simply made grey sauce and added either salt or sugar as appropriate.
We use a teapot that has an integral strainer ,nothing fancy it looks like a normal china pot rather than one of the designer types that have a similar arrangement at greater cost. But we also have a Lakeland tea tool as well
The plastic reinforcing/sealing has or is about to reduce a lot with several of the big names having or are in the process of going to fully biodegradable bags and there are less well known ones that always have been ,hot a box or organic Clipper in the cupboard which definitely are.Haven?t tried it yet , it was on offer from the milkman.

Has it got the instructions on it?
My gran had one of these, made in their thousands and bought as seaside gifts etc.
and an old tea strainer. Brian
They're also a lot more convenient if you need more cups of tea at any one time, than your customary teapot can provide.
Unless of course someone is looking for an excuse to acquire a whole range of differently sized but matching teapots, which can then be proudly displayed on a shelf of the newly acquired Welsh dresser.
Not forgetting the set of matching tea cosies, all kept in the left hand drawer.

If they do that, we may reconsider.
I had one of the metal sphere's you can put loose tea in and dunk it as a tea bag, which was my prefered method when making single cups of tea using 2/3 sainsbury red lable. 1/3rd early grey. Trouble was the dust or very fine leaves that still got through the holes.
PG Tips bags may not have plastic because they seem to disintegrate more easily than say Twinings, and I guess this is the reason why ? :-
I have a Bodum Tea Press Teapot - £2 from a charity shop. (The spherical glass ones with a plunger and filter cylinder.) Handy but you have to wait for the water to go through while adding it.
I was told to help myself to tea and coffee when working in a pub kitchen.
It did not take me long to realise that it was a teaspoon of salt I had put into the coffee.
Some friends and I were at a conference and at the communal meal at lunchtime, my mate Dave hadn't clocked that the main course and the desert were already on the buffet table so managed to pour custard over his ham salad instead of mayo. He said it was quite nice but I've never been tempted to try it myself.
I swigged some Coke from the bottle and poured peanuts into my hand and ate them.

I was sitting in my car outside a music shop, waiting for the time of my appointment with the owner.
I poured some peanuts into my hand then swigged some Coke from the bottle.
