How do the British Make Tea? Absolutely Not Like You Think We Do
We British do have some teabags with strings, but they are the more expensive ones.
I must admit that I am not very bothered whether milk or water goes first, but if I am using tea bags, I put milk in last so that none of it will be soaked up ...

Life Without Amos: Philinda Humiston and Her Three Children After the Battle of Gettysburg
VioletteRose, Me, too, the story is sad and touching. In a way, though, they were lucky, because they found out what happened to their father and they were able to visit his grave, so they could achieve a certain degree of closure: many families ...

Love this! This is how I make a cup of tea! As a Brit living in the States I do have to laugh at the multitudes of "British" teas available, as well as contraptions for making the perfect cup. While my tea bags do have the strings on them, ...

How do the British Make Tea? Absolutely Not Like You Think We Do
Oh no no no no milk before water ;) If there is more than two people drinking tea, I use a teapot to save on teabags and sometimes if I know I'm going to be drinking a lot (like when I used to pull allnighters).
Regular supermarket tea is ...

Chai is the same term as char.

Is that why it's still sometimes called a cup of char? Oh! I've just read on to your second sentence and you said just that. I wonder if Chai comes from there too.

Strictly speaking any brew from leaves is a tea. So what we loosely call tea is what the Chinese knew as char, tea from the leaves of Camelia sinensis. We used to speak of a cup of char, and this is still the usage Asia, where cha is the name ...

Dustytoes - Dandelions are a terrible diuretic, but very healthy in other ways. Plus you can make coffee out of them. Good choice!

Andrew - I've been known to use 'infusions' before, but usually with Pagan friends and as an alternative to potions. But now you've put the idea of Infusion the disco band in my head, and YES it does sound like it should be one!
