What is your advice about? Tea
- If you get halfway while it is still ‘hot to lukewarm’, you are doing well. A thermos mug may prolong the acceptable drinking period, but often gives the drink a funny, plastic taste.
- A spillage can be a disaster. However, you can always tell students you were trying out a trick from the History department to make the work look authentically old.
- Five cups of tea is the recommended maximum (Six to eight for decaff). Plan them carefully. Before school, break, lunch and 3.30pm is 4 out of your 5.
- Setting up a ‘tea station’ in your office / department will make you incredibly popular, especially if you supplement the tea with some biscuits. Mcvities Fruit Shortcake are most popular in our office.
- This is probably all true for coffee too, but the only coffee I drink is Irish Coffee, and that’s not appropriate for break time. Pick your caffeine drinks carefully!
