It suggests that the rest of us can go to warm, well-heated bedrooms, but it is good enough for them to go to bed with tea cosies on their heads.
We are all concerned about wasting energy and talk about putting tea cosies on our houses to keep them warm.
Some tea cosies are hand-knitted, resembling woollen hats, some even feature a bobble on top, which may also serve as a handle to remove or lift the tea cosy.
And so, the tea cosy came about.
If this is the case, the tea cosy is replaced after everyone has been served.
A special tea cosy is the so-called tea lugger, which enables the hot teapot to be carried around easily.
A tea cosy is often used to keep the temperature of the tea in a teapot constant.
A teapot and tea cosy may be used, if time permits, or tea may be steeped directly in the kettle off the heat.
