Tea making hack. Never forget what tea you’re brewing again! (i.redd.it)

Or just... put the lid on top?

AdorablePrawn 50 points 4y ago

Yeah I always put the lid on top, I feel like it might keep the heat in and brew the tea a little better.

BaristazGonnaBarist [OP] 26 points 4y ago

I took the picture when I realized that it would work. My bad.

BaristazGonnaBarist [OP] 20 points 4y ago

In the mornings when you’re brewing several teas, there’s about once a week when someone puts a lid down erroneously, and has to investigate.

Maybe it’s just our store.

ejbailey1995 16 points 4y ago

Maybe. I never ran into this problem 🤷‍♂️ just pay attention and it should be fine

Kimbo185 28 points 4y ago

If the pitcher isn’t clean it is unsanitary to put the lid on the handle since the lid is going to be in contact with the food. BUT I love ideas like that. I only say this because I sometimes get shot down for good ideas and because a manager explains to me it’s not ok.

TessaFink 8 points 4y ago

But if the pitcher isn’t clean then you shouldn’t use it to put anything in anyway.

Kimbo185 3 points 4y ago

This is the correction I’m talking about haha. Good catch.

“How are we gonna tell the difference amongst the tees?”
“Dude one of them is red”

BaristazGonnaBarist [OP] 8 points 4y ago

Yep. I was brewing the obvious one when I saw that it worked!!

Wolfness72 14 points 4y ago

I always just put the lids back on after I make them🤷‍♀️ if it makes things easier for you to do it that way I see no problem with it.

PNWadventureguy24 8 points 4y ago

I feel like that’d be a big ole nope from QASA with the inside of the lid touching the handle?

cassiajoy 5 points 4y ago

QASA violation!

obeehunter 4 points 4y ago

We have our jugs labeled with a label maker.

fancy pants over here :(

luvlace87 3 points 4y ago

Or...just smell it

flower---child 3 points 4y ago

I always just put them in alphabetical order when I’m brewing multiple teas at once (left to right: black, green, passion, white) might seem kinda silly but hey it works

vitamin_bae 1 points 4y ago

wow, so that’s where the order of our in use teas came from 😂

shookbarista 3 points 4y ago

My store doesn’t even have this type of tea pitcher anymore. Ours have dispensers😅

kootloon 3 points 4y ago

Put that milk away!

centarx 5 points 4y ago

*two milks and a sweet cream

kootloon 4 points 4y ago

We're having this battle in my store right now. Its 100 with extremely high humidity put ya dang milks and whips away

nora_the_explorur 2 points 4y ago

Surprised no one has mentioned the fact that you just hand your hand on the pitcher handle and now you are hooking the inside of the lid on it?

slicedbre4d 2 points 4y ago

We have teas in these tea containers that have a spout similar to a very small, see through glass version of the big iced coffee containers, we just write the names on a datedot and stick em on to remember

I just had the remodel at my store, and we got new pitcher with metallic bases and lids. All we can do is to put a sticker of what it is, or use chalk marker.

Gabagod 1 points 4y ago

I love problem solving skills but there are better ways to do this lol

Great for when you’re brewing tea!
