Making tea in a glass teapot is a visually appealing and straightforward process. Here's a simple guide:
Steps to Brew Tea in a Glass Teapot
- Add Water: Pour water into the glass teapot. The linked video mentions adding water to the teapot as the initial step.
- Boil the Water: Heat the water. The video directly states the next action after adding water is to boil it.
- Add Tea (Infuser): If your glass teapot has a removable infuser (usually stainless steel), place your loose leaf tea inside it. If not, you can add the loose leaf tea directly to the teapot.
- Pour Heated Water: Once the water is boiled, carefully pour it over the tea leaves in the infuser or directly into the teapot if there's no infuser. The video briefly touches on the use of a stainless steel infuser.
- Steep: Allow the tea to steep for the recommended time based on the type of tea you're using. (e.g., green tea typically steeps for 2-3 minutes, black tea for 3-5 minutes).
- Remove Infuser (if applicable): Once the tea has steeped long enough, remove the infuser to prevent the tea from becoming bitter. If you added the tea directly, you can strain the tea as you pour it into your cup.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pour the brewed tea into your cup and enjoy!
