Milky Current of Smoke and Tea



The tea leaves seem to flow of their own accord rather than be suspended in a milky current.

Not so hot as to scald.
Hot enough to keep the infusion going.

Adjust the logs.
Increase the flicker of flame.
Smoke and steam comingle above the long handled black pot.
What colour was it when new?

And another question, how do I get the flavour of smoke from a packet?

Mmm. I was just telling someone the other day about the milk tea you made me once. Where were we? In the U.S? In Aust? All I remember is the warm, sweet, milky goodness and watching you lovingly brew it over a fire. Good times : )

Camping in AU in '96? I don't have many opportunities for open fires in Cincinnati.
