Yes, it's coated with enamel inside so no problems with rust. I use it for tea and hot chocolate.

oh yes. The inside is enameled. We use our pot to boil water over a open camp fire. The handle stays cool (but we usually use a pot holder).We used our pot all summer at Civil war reenactment and it worked really great!

You can, but you probably won't like the result. There's a reason why these come in different sizes. They rely on fixed amounts of water and grounds. I have a friend who has two - one this size and a smaller one - trying to make a smaller batch in a bigger pot - undrinkable, like dirty socks and burnt rubber. Best bet is make a full pot and dump out what you don't drink

So far, no. We use our two pots, -one for coffee and one for tea. The beverages are made then poured into the pots.

I would believe so. However, I honestly have not tried. I collect the teapots for decor. Sorry I couldn't be much help.

No you cannot drink out of it this is a decorative plant holder. There is a hole in the bottom of the cup for water drainage.

No. Heat water in a metal or glass Tea Kettle then put it into the Teapot containing the tea.

Yes, you can, but to be honest, if you want to use it for coffee again, I would use a completely separate pot for the tea. I have 2 - one for coffee, and one for tea.

No, that would damage it. This pot is designed to steep loose tea. According to this tradition, boil water in a kettle or saucepan on the cook top & then drizzle the boiled water thru infuser to fill pot. This is a wonderful teapot if you use loose tea (black, green, etc.) and offers the advantages of the removable infuser, which can be hard to find. The infuser holds the tea & can be extracted from pot when tea has steeped the desired number of minutes, leaving you to enjoy your brew at your leisure, without it becoming bitter from over-steeping.

Yes you can have hot water only and can put a tea bags or leaves in your cup. Make sure to run it first after you take out the old pod before you make your tea. Otherwise you will have a cup of tea that has a coffee flavor to it!

no you must heat the water on stove top or microwave and then pour in to tea pot

Yes but I'd recommend pouring slowly. Thicker glass breaks easier with heat stress but I have not had a problem with pouring it full for tea right after boil so far. I have also used them from the freezer for beverages. Frosty sided beverages is my favorite use for them.

Yes. In addition, generally, the tea is made a little stronger. That way people can add water from the bottom to make it to their desired strength after pouring a little tea into their cups.Just be sure to remove the brewing basket once you get the tea brewed.

Of course you can by using the dried leaves to make a tea. Pour boiling water over your dried leaves until all the leaves are totally underwater with around an 5 inches of water over the top of the leaves guessing here is okay. Let your tea steep for as long as you like really but at least 15 minutes. The longer it steeps the longer the water is infused with the dried leaves. You can not drink or eat all leaves so be sure of what you are infusing. Drain the infused tea into a jar and discard the leaves.

Absolutely! The infuser is a screen mesh material, so you could either put your tea bag below it and just ignore it completely while you drink your tea (usually what I do) or you could lay the tea bag on top of the infuser and fill with hot water. If you do this you would need to remove the tea bag before drinking as it would be next to your mouth, but either way it works fine. Sometimes I just throw a tea bag in with the sip-thru lid instead of the infuser as the drinking hole is small enough the tea bag won't come through.

Hi, you don't use these teapots to heat the water. You use them only to brew the tea. I use an electric kettle to heat the water, then pour it into the teapot with either loose tea in the infuser (shown) or with teabags. The teapot is never too hot to handle.
1823482
Yes! I just heat the water and add bags/packets to my cup. But the tea bags could be brewed through the coffee system. It heats the water very quickly. Hope this helps!

No and they are not ideal for drinking because once it gets wet you can't drink through the straw. For show only... In my opinion.
