First boil water in here: http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-CPK-17-PerfecTemp-1-7-Liter-Stainless/dp/B003KYSLNQ/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1351570048&sr=8-11&keywords=tea+kettle

Then steep in here: http://www.amazon.com/Harold-Imports-75-Ounce-Capacity-Teapot/dp/B002GTB9JE/ref=sr_1_5?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1351570121&sr=1-5&keywords=teapot

Cover the tea pot with a cosy for about 5 min http://www.amazon.com/Shaker-11G44-Ginger-Cat-Cozy/dp/B005DGC68K/ref=sr_1_9?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1351570216&sr=1-9&keywords=tea+cosy

Pour tea into your favorite mug and drink it hot.

You don't boil water in a teapot. You boil the water in a kettle.

One teapot is much the same as another. If you are looking for a kettle, we've had a Krups for about 10 years that's still going strong.

If you are using loose leaf tea in the teapot, you will also need a strainer. Alternately, you can brew in the cup using a tea ball.

Boil in a kettle, microwave, or get hot water from your Keurig. For teas, I love Teavana and they have tons of accessories. This is what I use. I keep it at my desk at work along with a tin of tea. Sure, a cute little teapot would be adorable but it's just something else to clean, and they're heavy as crap. If you just want a cup of teat this is great.

get a black n decker tea kettle from amazon. It is awesome. You plug it in, fill kettle and flip switch. A minute later you have boiling hot water!

I agree -- get an electric tea kettle if your are a serious tea drinker.

One, it heats up really fast.

Two, it doesn't get all yucky sitting on your stove.
