I have an automatic coffee maker I use to only make tea.
I take two family size tea bags and a 12 cup coffee maker. It works pretty well and I don't have to watch it. I can go back an hour later and make the tea if I need to.
I admit though that this method does not make the tea taste as rich as it does when I boil the tea on the stove.
Are there automatic tea makers for us lazy people?
