Rapidly dip my hands in and out of the water, imparting enough energy to the water to raise the temperature

>>15597983
hang a pot over the hearth

>>15598152
Yep, this is what I use to. The hold function is awesome for gong-fu style, and the temperature control is non-negotiable if you drink lower temp teas like green and white.

>fill big mug with water
>microwave for 6-7 mins for rolling boil

I have a stainless steel electric kettle (no boiling water is in contact with plastic), the water I get is filtered through reverse-osmosis and remineralized.

Never had any built-up of limescale in my kettle for a year of use now.

i seethe at it until the water seethes too

Are kettles the ultimate unitasker?

>>15597983
Warm tap water, it's not boiled, but it saves time o waiting for the tea to cool, and honestly I don't like my tea that strong anyways.

>>15598019
sir, clown college is not an accredited university.

Either get a kettle and use electric stove or gas, an electric kettle, microwave or oven. In any case, it does exactly the same thing and there is no one best way to boil water.

>>15597983
Never boiling water should never touch plastic.
>>15598152
Something like this is much better.

plug it in retard.

>>15597983
Trick question. You don't boil water for tea.

Heat water in a pot until, depending on the type of tea you're steeping, it's warm or hot enough. If it comes to a boil, pour it out and restart.

>>15599298
Boiling is fine for some teas, like rooibos, also for teas requiring water near boiling I don't see why you'd dump the water rather than just turn off the heat and let it sit for a moment to drop to the proper temperature.

>>15599298
ah, but for some tea you need boiling water, white, darker oolongs, herbal.

>>15599298
but i like to boil my water for tea?

>>15598193
what the fuck is wrong with you? it takes just as long to boil water on the stove

>>15599336
It sure does, but I can also walk away from it without having worry about it boiling away, or burning the pot.

I do need go just buy an electric kettle. Just avoiding it, since counter space is limited

>>15597983
Kettle on the stove.

>>15597983
with the electric kettle obviously. what a stupid question

>>15599321
>some teas, like rooibos
Which is not a tea

>>15599326
Hotter water, sure, if the white tea is something thick like silver needle, but the water shouldn't come to an actual boil. I'll grant that white tea can take boiling water a lot better than green or black tea, but rather than getting bitter, it causes a more woody flavor.

>>15599471
herbal tea is still tea, I guess if you really want to be a pedant you can call it a tisane.

>>15599426
> or burning the pot
If you're gone long enough to burn a pot full of water, then your heated microwave water will be lukewarm at best by the time you return. Nothing about what you've said makes any sense. Just shut the fuck up and use a kettle ya ditsoon charcoal briquette mulignan piece o' fuckin' shit.

in a saucepan on the stove

>>15597983
I don't think I've ever only had a single cup of tea. I make a whole pot.

>>15599493
>herbal tea is still tea
Peppermint is peppermint, chamomile is chamomile, tea is tea. You might as well call them "herbal coffees"

>>15599516
>boiling point of water is 212F
But even if it called for boiling water, this is a western-style tea bag recommendation where it doesn't matter how shitty the tea is because it's just going to be mixed with cream and sugar anyway.
