USING THE GLASS TEA KETTLE
While the water is heating, place the
tea steeper in the tea steeper holder
to keep it steady while filling it with
5
tea leaves (or tea bags). Follow the
instructions on the tea packaging for
the amount of tea to use.
NOTE: For tea that does not include
brewing directions, start with 1 Tbsp. per
10 oz. cup. Add more tea if the flavor is
too weak, and less tea if the flavor is too
strong. Experiment for the best flavor.
TIP: For best results, we recommend pre-
wetting the tea leaves in the steeper with
a little warm water before the steeper is
added to the kettle. (This can be done
while the steeper is in the steeper holder).
This will allow the leaves to settle into the
steeper during the steeping process.
Once the water reaches the correct
temperature for brewing your
selected tea, a chime will sound
6
and the light around the ON/OFF
button will stop flashing, but remain
lit, indicating that the water is ready
for steeping the tea.

OPTIONAL: To boil water instead of
steeping tea, slide the temperature
selector to HERBAL (100°C/212°F).
Remove the tea steeper lid from the
7
kettle after the desired temperature
is reached.
