Stovetop Glass Teapot with Removable Infuser
A stovetop borosilicate glass teapot with a removable infuser is the most versatile and beautiful brewing vessel for making hot-brewed tea that will be chilled and served as iced tea, and it brings a transparency and elegance to the brewing process that ceramic and stainless steel teapots cannot match. The clear glass body allows you to watch the tea steep in real time — the gradual darkening of the water, the unfurling of whole leaf teas, the slow bloom of dried flowers — which is both practically useful for judging the strength of the brew and genuinely beautiful to observe. The removable stainless steel infuser basket holds loose leaf tea securely during steeping and lifts out cleanly when the brew has reached the desired strength, preventing over-extraction without requiring a separate strainer. The borosilicate glass is safe for direct stovetop use on gas and electric hobs, and it transitions from stovetop to table without the thermal shock risk that ordinary glass carries. For making large batches of hot-brewed tea to chill and serve as iced tea, a 1.5 to 2 litre capacity is ideal — enough for a full pitcher of iced tea from a single brew.
