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! ;-)

Why aren't you using leaf tea? Tea bags contain 25% plastic.

I no longer have a tea pot or strainer!

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)

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.
