Some cast iron teapots double as teakettles, allowing you to boil water and make tea in the same vessel.It is very suitable for you to use the tea infusers. Many teapots come with removable infusers that fit snugly around the top rim of the teapot just under the lid. These perforated baskets hold loose tea leaves, allowing water to pass through while keeping the leaves from floating freely. And the tea infuser is the main parts of the tea pot. If your teapot did come without an infuser, you can buy one from Wuzhou Kingda.

Instructions

Brewing Tea with an Infuser in your Cast-Iron Teapot

1 Boil water for your tea. Use tap water, if it tastes good, or recently filtered water.

2 While the water is heating, measure one heaping teaspoon of tea leaves per eight ounces of boiling water. Place the tea in the infuser. If your teapot's infuser sits just under the lid, you'll need to fill your teapot in order for the water to reach the infuser, so be sure to boil enough water for the entire teapot.

3 Put the infuser into the teapot. If you're using a infuser that rests on the top rim of the teapot, be sure to fill the teapot enough that the water reaches the infuser. If you are using an infuser that dangles from a chain or floats freely in the teapot, you can use as much or little water as you like.

4 Remove the water from the heat when it comes to a rolling boil. If you use a separate teakettle to boil water, pour the hot water into your cast-iron teapot.

5 Let the tea steep for some minutes. Steeping is the process of infusing the tea flavor into the hot water. The longer the tea steeps the stronger the flavor will be.

6 Remove the infuser when the tea is brewed to your taste. Set the infuser aside and replace the lid on your teapot to conserve heat.
