Tea on Tap
Fresh tea available all round your house
 
(+5, -5) 		  [vote for,

Simple place tea bags in your hot water boiler, and receive glorious hot tea all round the house, at the turn of a tap.

The problem of the tea bags remaining in the boiler for too long, would be alleviated by a conveyor belt mechanism lifting them slowly out of the water and into a waiting bin.

Possible downsides: * You may need to shower in tea (although this depends on your shower model) * You're restricted to one brand of tea for everyone

       That'll be that pigeon you forgot about Doc.

       Well the pigeons could probably power the conveyor belt mechanism .

       if this came in an Ice tea model my husband would buy one. Just sit the tea in the fridge and refill his glass all over the house. [+] for you

       Nice to see you back, [babyhawk].

       thanks [jurist] I missed whiling away the hours, upon hours, upon hours here. :) But once I get back in my groove, I may try posting my own ideas......mmwwhahahahaha. :)

       Hey you two, do you fancy a nice hot cuppa while you catch up on old times? Well, just turn that tap!
robinw77, Aug 11 2005
   

       It's quite achievable, but needlessly complicated - therefore, croissant!

       I'd like to bun this, but you're obviously quite mad - no serious tea lover would use bags. Unless you amend the idea for leaf tea and an in-line strainer, it is a smelly infusion of fishbone for you.

       [robinw77] thanks! I know that saying this may award me many enemies, but...[cough] idon'tliketea [cough]. I will drink mint tea occasionally....but that is it, sorry. I still love you guys anyhoo. :)
babyhawk, Aug 11 2005
   

       I don't at all care for hot tea, but I do like iced tea, but I don't like cold showers. I guess that's a "no" from me.

       i like tea, but as coprocephalous said, the best tea is open tea leaves- i like early grey

       Ridiculous - (+). Which tea is good for your skin?
normzone, Aug 11 2005
   

       I like mint tea bags and coffee from a french press. So chalk me up to weird.
