Teapot Cup
Another question: This time about my new teapot?
OK. I know this sounds very dumb to all you veteran teapot and kettle users. But I always have made my tea by putting a cup of water in the microwave (i know, i know) and then putting the tea bag in. But I just got this ADORABLE teapot, but I have no idea how to make tea with it? HELP?
Boil water in your kettle using the stove. Or if you have no kettle or no stove – heat water to boiling in the microwave. You will need TWICE the amount of water used to make the tea.
Once the water is boiling – pour it into the teapot, put the lid on. Let this sit for 1-2 minutes – this is to heat the tea pot out. During this time – keep the kettle on the heat or reboil the water in the microwave.
Dump out the water used to heat the teapot – then put in the tea bag if that is what you are using – or loose tea in a strainer, and pour the water over the tea into the pot.
Steep,
Honey, lemon or cream – as you wish.
Enjoy.
