Sounds like one of my friends in college; she liked her tea that weak
also. I generally leave the bag in about 2-4 minutes, timing varies as
to what else I'm doing at the same time. I left it in a bit longer a
couple of times and knew it from the taste.

My folks always had the store brand of salad dressing (vs mayo).  Down
here, I buy Duke's as it's all natural and tastes good.

No surprise. We used to live in Copperas Cove in a (then) new sub
division in the Hattie Halsted elementary school district.  We lived on
Michelle Drive.
