This pot has liquid ounce markings on the side. Add leaves, pour water on at the right temperature, steep for the correct time and set on top of your mug or teapot. The clear tea liquor will drain through the bottom of the pot. For a single serving iced tea, use 1/2 the volume of hot water with the same quantity of dry tea and pour over ice.
Tea stains are easily removed by regularly soaking the pot in baking soda and it is dishwasher safe. Do not scrub.
