What am I supposed to do with this set? It's a Brown Betty w/ Rockingham glaze so it's excellent in that I'll pro'lly never notice it getting tea-stained but...
I preheat the pot and keep it sitting on the cup while brewing to preheat the cup. Next, I put in my tea and water and let steep...good, fine.
Then, I strain out the tea into the cup. That's where the problem arises. There's still about 1/2 cup of tea left in the pot w/ the leaves which we all know will continue to steep and get bitter as well as stronger. Can't use a brew basket 'cause the opening's too small. Not going to use a teaball or other highly restrictive infuser.
How are these things supposed to be used? With teabags only? (gahh!)
