I use a mesh tea ball {infuser?} which holds about 2 teaspoons of teaspoons of loose tea--maybe a bit more. Though most advice I've read for steeping tea suggests about 3 - 5 minutes, I find that with the mesh tea ball I need to leave it in longer to get the stronger tea I like. I usually steep mine somewhere between 5 and 10 minutes--I'm not always consistant, so some pots of tea I make are much better than others! Hope this helps :) ....Debhomespun livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07520148530306239072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15599377.post-48375347690089444722012-04-03T15:37:03.194-05:002012-04-03T15:37:03.194-05:00Cathie, I'm so happy to hear you're enjoyi...Cathie, I'm so happy to hear you're enjoying the mug cozy! ...Debhomespun livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07520148530306239072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15599377.post-23619336555268206252012-03-28T12:44:22.200-05:002012-03-28T12:44:22.200-05:00Blow some cool air our way!
