It must be drunk sitting at the kitchen table in the mug that holds the designated quantity for each particular tea time, and in the specific color mug designated for its caffeine level and brewed in and dispensed from the appropriate color teapot. And it must be brewed for 4 minutes timed on the designated tea timer after which tea bags must be removed with the designated tea bag tongs. Exceptions only permitted in the warm weather when iced tea may be imbibed, but it must be brewed Earl Gray and freshly made tea must cool completely before being put in the fridge to prevent cloudiness. The appropriate number of ice cubes, handmade of course, because ice makers take up too much room in the freezer, must be placed in the pre-determined ice tea glasses, which may not be used to drink any other beverage. When finished all mugs and glasses must be placed in the correct spot in the dishwasher. On road trips, tea is brought in a liter and a half carafe which one must be careful not to break, as we have learned, because liter and a half carafes are hard to come by. There are no exceptions to these rules ever!
