Steps
Teabags in the filter basket or carafe
- Fill the glass carafe with water and pour it's contents into the reservoir just like when making a regular coffee.
- Remove and rinse the Separate Coffee Filters basket from previous brews of either coffee or tea.
- Select your choice of Make a Herbal Tea Bag. Use approximately one teabag per one cup of water. Removing the filter, place the tea bags into the basket and back into its compartment. Replace the carafe on the plate then turn the coffee maker on. (For stronger tea and less mess, put the teabags inside the carafe instead in the filter basket).
- Wait until the tea is done brewing, and enjoy!
Teabag in the cup
- Brew hot water using the coffee maker by pouring water into the reservoir, and turning the machine on until the water has boiled.
- Place the teabag in your cup and pour the hot water in.
- Soak the tea bag for three minutes. Enjoy!
Tips
- This is a great way to make herbal teas as well as standard tea.
- If the teabags have strings, make sure they lie or hang outside the filter basket. You can close the lid on the strings.
Warnings
- Both the carafe and resulting tea will be hot after brewing.
