| USING THE GLASS TEA KETTLE
NOTE:
Making the perfect cup of tea is easy with the KitchenAid Glass Tea Kettle. Water
temperature and steep time are two key elements for optimal tea flavor. For best results,
follow the recommendation on your tea’s packaging for suggested water temperature
and steep times. If it does not have these suggestions, see the chart below. Keep in mind,
steep time determines flavor, so use a timer to find your perfect strength.
Warm Mode: Warm is designed to keep your tea warm at the optimal drinking
temperature 70°C/158°F.
NOTE:
Some teas call for different temperatures. Check your tea package for
suggested steeping times and temperatures.
