beautiful tea

We have horrid water here in the East Riding – it’s very hard, full of calcium, and we get through a lot of Brita filters (and have to use softening tablets in the washing machine too).

We recently bought a gadget to give us Reverse Osmosis water (see Wikipedia for more info). Basically, you plumb it into the mains, and the water runs through three filters (on our system) then through a membrane, which filters out all the horrible rubbish that is in tap water – we use the water for our marine fish tank.

It struck me the other day that RO water might be nice to use for tea and coffee, so we gave it a go – and it’s wonderful! Both Pete and I drink our tea without milk, and now there is no more scum in the cups. And the coffee is so much nicer too. Our RO only does 50 gallons a day, which means it literally drips out, but we have bought a 20l barrel, which we fill every three to four days.

An excellent investment!
