BREWING TEA

1

Fill the Glass Tea Kettle with filtered water up to the desired level for the amount of tea you want to brew� Do not fill past the Max line�

2

Put the lid back on the Glass Tea

Kettle, without the steeper� The two lids are properly locked into each other when the indicator on the tea steeper lid is lined up with the indicator next to the locked symbol on the kettle lid� After locking the lids together, place the Glass Tea Kettle onto the power base�

IMPORTANT: We recommend adding tea and the steeper only after the water is heated�

3

Select the appropriate temperature for the kind of tea you are brewing by sliding the temperature selector to the correct setting� See the

“Steeping chart” for more detailed information�

4

Press the I/O (on/off) button on the base to start heating the water� The light around the button will flash while the water is heating in 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 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 15 g per

300 ml cup� Add more tea if the flavour is too weak, and less tea if the flavour is too strong� Experiment for the best flavour�

TIP: For best results, we recommend prewetting 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�

OPTIONAL: To boil water instead of steeping tea, slide the temperature selector to HERBAL (100°C)�

6

Once the water reaches the correct temperature for brewing your selected tea, a chime will sound and the light around the I/O (on/off) button will stop flashing, but remain lit, indicating that the water is ready for steeping the tea�

7

Remove the tea steeper lid from the kettle after the desired temperature is reached�
