I enjoy drinking herbal tea or just sipping on warm water in the mornings, so I used to carry a thermos around with me. A typical thermos carries only about 1.5 cups of water and is no heatable, as it is usually made of plastic and metal materials. One day, when I had a cold and needed plenty of warm water to get me through the morning, I grabbed a jar (of which there are plenty in my collection) … [Read more...]
