The package does not offer directions for use. What is he best way? If I make a tea, does it have to be boiled?

I take it by mouth (1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon, 1 -2 times daily) and I make my own capsules. I've put it in smoothies and added it to tea. The taste isn't bad, but its nothing to savor either.

My understanding this tea pot is not made for direct heat. You just put your tea in strainer and poor in your hot water then serve your tea. Think more of an attractive way to serve your tea...

I use it to steep the tea so I pour boiling water in to it. I know there is a candle warmer for it to stay hot. I wouldn;t put it on the stove myself.

I wasn't sure so ran a test for you last night. Made some tea and put it in the fridge. Didn't use stove top boiled water, but microwave boiled water. No cracking. You might want to make a bottle holder of some sort since the bottle was very hot. You should still check with manufacturer about cracking danger though. I have used a similar thickness bottle, that let's you unscrew the bottom to fill with ice, then add your tea and hot water to make instantaneous ice tea. Hope this helps.

I bring about 3 quarts of water to boil, add the tea bag, turn the burner off and cover the pot. I let it steep for about 45 minutes. I then dilute the tea with cold water - adding about 9 quarts of water. These large tea bags make up to 3 gallons of tea. You can make less by letting the tea steep for a shorter time - maybe 10 minutes -- then add water to dilute to strength that you want.

I'm not sure what is the right way to use but, I just put 1 tea spool of Dandelion root into my tea pot then add hot water & drink for a day. Adding water if you have finished the first once.

I just put the bag in a gallon jug of tap water & set it in the sun to brew. Makes wonderful sun tea. Or you can put a bag in boiling water & brew that way.

Hi Connie: I, personally, would not boil any tea in a metal container. Tea is very acidic and would corrode metal. Also it would not taste very good. Very hot water from your Ovente poured over tea in a nice china pot works the best.

I don't think you can heat this pot. The way to use it, will be to pour in hot water and tea leaves and allow to stand to steep in the tea leaves.

I added a cranberry tea to mine saw it on you tube. I boiled the tea and used that water to mix it. Hope this help.

If you use a tea ball, about 1 tsp - 1 Tbls per cup, depending on taste. Heat the water to about 200 degrees F or 80 degrees C. Let it steep about 3-4 minutes. Or, you can make a pot of it in a coffeemaker. I have a metal mesh basket I put in in rather than using filters. And, frankly, I have a 4 cup coffee maker that is only for tea because I don't want it picking up the taste of coffee out of the plastics.

Put your tea in the mesh part and pour your hot (not boiling) water over the tea. Let steep. Depending upon the type of tea anywhere from 2 to 5 minutes. I would never set anything made of glass directly on a hot surface such as the stove.

I just posted a you tube video, showing you how to use your ice tea maker. Hope that helps.

My answer would be to reheat it in the microwaveable cup you drink from...I don't know if the pot is microwaveable and I sure wouldn't want to break it so as I do with coffee and tea I microwave it for a short time but don't boil it...it should be fine.

Google, "instructions for take a ice tea maker". I am sure you will find the instructions there :D

The answer to your question is no. It is not meant for use like a tea ketttle. You boil the water first then pour into teapot with tea bag and let it steep for a few minutes. I love this set, very classy.

You need to put a wire on the burner and use a low heat. The teapot will keep your tea nice and hot this way, without hurting the teapot. Enjoy!
