Place one tea ball in a clear glass teapot or tall heat-safe glass. Pour in freshly boiled water and watch it open. Let it steep 5 to 8 minutes, then pour and enjoy.
Each tea ball can be infused at least three times within about 12 hours. Leave it in the pot and top up with hot water for the next round.
Each one is made from green or black tea leaves hand-tied around flowers such as jasmine, lily, marigold or globe amaranth. Flavoured versions, like Eye Of Dragon (Vanilla Flavour), add a sweet note.
No, any teapot works. But a clear glass teapot or glass lets you see the flower open, which is half the fun.
