Hot Drinks

Boiling water

• Making tea for others is appreciated :) Especially in the morning, as the thermoses will keep it hot for hours.
• It's the privilege of the person preparing the hot drinks to choose which kind will be made.
• Please don't boil more water than you need! It's OK to measure water, as long as only pure water goes in the kettle.

Brewing tea (Janina)

• Please economize tea! The used tea in the used dishes shelf can be used again.
• Please don't put loose tea directly into the teapots: it generally makes tea taste worse and drinking inconvenient. We have various tea sieves you use.
• Please label what's in the thermos. There is a marker pen attached to the wall in the snack kitchen and write directly on the thermos the kind of tea inside.
