"How much water do you boil to make a single cup of tea?"

Full kettle - I have a half-litre (and a 1-litre, though I rarely use
that) mug, and I want to rinse and pre-heat it before filling. But I
don't rinse it under the hot tap.

Am I the only person in the world who does not make single cups of
tea? I make pots of tea . When I make a pot of tea it is so that
everyone can have some. I dont make tea for one.

So what if only one person wants a cup of tea? - you throw the rest down
the drain?

Well, there is only two of us, but that never happens. If I make one pot of
tea it will all get drunk. One pot of tea = two and a half mugs each . I
keep the tea pot warm with a cosy.
We are big tea drinkers ( no, I dont value being told about my lifestyle and
how we should be drinking water, thankyou.) . One pot is more economical in
fact for us. On boiling of the kettle.
