But I just got this ADORABLE teapot, but I have no idea how to make tea with it!? HELP!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
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!.

in russia, we make super-strong tea in the pot, pour a little into each cup, then add boiling water!. we keep the tea 24-36 hours!. we use black tea!. (the adulterated types are usually cheap teas with scented candle flavoring added! hee hee) they may spoil faster- i do not know!. next day, if in doubt, smell the strong tea- if it is not good, it will have a foul odor
put 4 or 5 tea bags, or teaspoons of loose tea into the pot, fill 2/3 with boiling water and let steep (marinate -to use a slang word) 5 minutes!. pour about 20% of a serving cup and add the other 80% hot water to the cup!. even after a day, you pour hot fresh tea!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
