Are there truly no places to find a decent tea-cosy in smalltown Texas? How do they keep their teapots warm?
Oh, honey. Hee! I'd wager the majority of Americans--and especially southerners and Texans--would have no idea what on earth a tea cosy was. Once you explained it to them, the bafflement would continue. A pot? Warm? Huh?
If you order tea in most restaurants in Texas, it will come in a glass with ice. If you want hot tea, you'll get a cup of hot water and a bag of Lipton's. When they ask if you want a refill, they'll pour more hot water and expect you to use the same bag. We are tea heathens (at least to hear my English grandmother tell it). ;)
