Loose Leaf Tea Steeper
A tea steeper is a device in which loose, dried tea leaves are placed for steeping or brewing, in a mug or a teapot full of hot water; it is often called a tea ball or tea maker, and sometimes a tea egg. The tea infuser gained popularity in the first half of the 19th century.
Directions: Fill your tea infuser with tea. Place it in a cup or teapot and top with warm or boiling water. Let the tea release its flavors via the infuser and steep for 2-5 minutes. Remove the tea steeper and enjoy your drink.
Steeping Times: Herbal infusions need the most steeping (5 to 7 minutes); white teas need the least (just a minute or two). For every other tea (black, green, oolong, dark), you can probably get away with 3 minutes.
