Kuchicha twig tea taste much better than the bancha tea. It doesn't have the bitterness so I don't think it needs any sweetener at all. I love it plain but if you need just a touch maybe a touch of rice syrup. As for pressure cookers..I have two, a medium size one and a large one...I use the larger one much more often. Even if you are cooking just for yourself rice makes excellent leftovers for breakfast or lunch the next day. Leftovers from a large pot of stew, beans or soup can also be saved in the fridge or freezer to be eaten another time.
