Fill the pot with cold water then heat to boiling. The tea in the basket should hold up for at least one month as long as you brew one pot or more per day.
Here's where it turns into New England style-
Do NOT empty the basket. Instead, add a fresh layer of tea leaves to the basket every 4-7 days (or when the tea starts to taste weak).  The tea takes on an almost-smoky or woody flavor after one or two weeks.  |
I have lived in New England all my life and this is the first that I have heard of this. Sounds like it would work though.
