Okay, so the other day I decided I wanted to keep my tea warm for longer without having to constantly get up and reheat it. I’d seen these teapot warmers online and thought, “Why not give it a shot?”
Getting Started
First things first, I got myself a teapot warmer. I picked a simple one made of ceramic with a little spot for a tealight candle underneath. Nothing fancy, just something that looked like it would do the job.
Then, I obviously needed a teapot. I used my regular ceramic one, nothing special. And of course, I needed some tealight candles. I already had a bunch of those lying around.
The Process
So, here’s what I did:
- I brewed my tea as usual. I like a strong black tea, so I let it steep for a good five minutes.
- While the tea was steeping, I lit a tealight candle and placed it inside the warmer. Make sure to center it.
- Once the tea was ready, I poured it into my teapot.
- I carefully placed the teapot on top of the warmer. You want to make sure it’s stable and not wobbly.
Did It Work?
You bet! The little candle actually did a surprisingly good job of keeping my tea warm. It wasn’t boiling hot, of course, but it stayed at a nice, drinkable temperature for a good hour or so. Much better than letting it go cold on the counter!
I was pretty impressed with how such a simple setup could make such a difference. No more lukewarm tea for me!
I sat on the sofa, reading the book and drinking the tea all afternoon, the tea never gets cold!It was the perfect way!
One thing to keep in mind: always keep an eye on the candle, and don’t leave it unattended. Safety first, folks!
