haha RosieMaw! That's what I've been doing, but wondered if I was throwing money away, and if it was normal to make tea to reheat!

Oh go on, be a devil, use two teabags and *hang the expense*

Hear, hear. The tea I drink (and I have up to 4 largecups a day) is, asa friend put it “not so much weak as helpless”🤣, but I use a new teabag each time. The tea tastes stewed if reused.

I'd use 2 teabags.
If using only one I'd make 2 cups worth and store, without milk, in a flask. I think reheating or using wet cold bag would affect the taste.

Edit to clarify both cups of tea are at work. One mid-morning, one mid-afternoon.

I figure this is the best place to ask!

I tend to drink one cup of tea in the morning, and one in the afternoon when I'm at work. I know I can get two cups of tea from one teabag.

Would you:
Make a pot for two cups, take the bag out and reheat the second cup later?

Do the same as above, but keep second cup in a thermos?

Make one cup (teabag in cup), then re-use wet teabag later?

Just use two teabags? This is what I've been doing, but it seems a waste.
