Have as much tea as you like - just cold-brew it.....

Edit: would be interested if a tea expert on here actually tried it and reported back on the results!

Here's a crazy idea (and the fact that it's crazy is probably why we're doomed to a climate catastrophe): drink less tea. That's the biggest saving.

Agreed, but less of the crazy talk

Crazy idea but why don't we have instant tea yet?

We do, you can buy it. Scroll down the page until you get to Typhoo QT:

Sadly, the flavour is less-than-ideal. IMHO it's only acceptable if the alternative is "no tea".

so for maximum savings always refill the kettle after using it, not before using it.

Nooo.....for a decent cuppa it has to be freshly drawn water each time and don't reboil.  I can live with putting an extra jumper on to save a few pennies but not with a lousy cup of tea just to save less than a penny extra a time

If there were no repeats the whole forum site would be about 1/10th its size!

They try to enforce the "no repeat topics" idea on Stack Overflow.  It has a reputation as an extremely unfriendly site.

I remember trying that in the late 80s or early 90s when it was launched. Grim.

Does anyone know whether it's cheaper to boil a full kettle then put the water in a flask for later, or boil just enough for one cup? 

Just boil enough for one cup, in a kettle not a microwave. Check out the other thread of the subject if you want to see this hashed out but the answer is as simple as I've given unless someone it trying to take advantage of very cheap electricity only available at a particular time.
