How Do You Use A Japanese Cast Iron Teapot?
To use a Japanese cast iron teapot, first rinse it with hot water to remove any dust or debris. Add loose-leaf tea or tea bags into the infuser basket in the teapot and fill it with hot water, leaving a little room at the top. Let the tea steep for the desired time, typically 3-5 minutes depending on the tea type. Pour the tea into cups and enjoy. It’s important to avoid boiling the teapot directly on the stove and to hand-wash it with mild soap and warm water after each use. Also, never use abrasive sponges or detergents that could damage the teapot’s coating.
