How to make loose leaf tea in a mug

Quick Answer

A small infuser basket or tea cup infuser sits right in your mug, so you can brew loose leaf tea without needing a teapot at all.

A Little More

Simply add your tea to the infuser, pop it into the mug, and pour water over the top. Once it's brewed to your liking, lift the infuser out and you're left with a clean cup, no leaves floating about. It's the easiest way to bring loose leaf tea into an everyday routine.
