Glass teapot - modern attribute of the tea ceremony

Some people who drink a cup of freshly brewed, strong tea only from time to time prefer an ordinary plastic or metallic teapot, which usually stands for months on the top shelf and is used extremely rarely. Much more often they can brew ordinary tea bags.

In houses where they love and appreciate this delicious and delicious drink, there is necessarily a good dish for its preparation. Real gourmets and connoisseurs recognize only porcelain, ceramic or earthenware for brewing. The process of tea drinking for them turns into a real tea ceremony.

However, the old traditions are being replaced by new developments, and now many modern housewives are choosing a glass kettle. Versatility and interesting design solutions will help to find each model a worthy place in any kitchen.

Modern glass kettles have an original and stylish look. The diversity and uniqueness of the forms of the presented models is striking. This attribute necessary for the tea ceremony can be quite ordinary or have a unique design. The glass kettle can be high and oblong, made in Japanese or Arabic style, or be round and quite tiny, decorated in Chinese. Some models are made from a double layer of glass, and some - with a heated candle-like pill. For convenient brewing and a comfortable tea-party they are made with a brewing flask, with a filter spring or with a strainer.

Outside, some samples can be absolutely smooth, without any images or have a beautiful and original design. Through the transparent surface it is very interesting to observe how the bound tea opens , releasing a bright flower.

When buying a glass teapot, first of all you should determine how many people will drink this delicious drink. A glass teapot can be very small, a volume of only three hundred or four hundred milliliters, or very voluminous, capable of containing up to one and a half or two liters of water and giving a wonderful taste to the tea of a large, friendly company.

In order for the liquid not to spill, the teapot should be chosen with a narrowed spout, a height not lower than the level of the lid. The lid must be tightly closed and have a seal on the rim so that it does not fall out when tilted. A fall can damage it: it can crack or break. The battered dishes will have to be changed.

The handle must be firmly connected to the receptacle. When you take the kettle in hand, the curvature and thickness of the handle should cause a sense of strength, comfort and reliability.

To glass kettle served faithfully for a long time, it is necessary to take care of it properly. Never forget that even though it is a fire-resistant glass, there is a possibility that it can easily break from an awkward impact on the table or an acute angle, and can also burst from a sharp temperature drop.

Not all utensils, made even from heat-resistant glass, can be exposed to direct fire, this also applies to glass teapots. Try not to put it on the gas burner. Only some specially created models can withstand the fire of a candle.

Before use, the glass kettle, like any other utensil for brewing, should be rinsed with boiling water. During this time, the walls can warm up and do not burst during brewing. Tea, brewed in a warm teapot, will give all unsurpassed taste and a charming aroma.

The dark coating on the walls of the vessel, which has appeared from the tea leaves, should not be cleaned with abrasive washcloths or cleaning powders. Such materials will not only scratch the glass, but can lead to the appearance of cracks.

With the right choice and care for the glass bowl, you can get a feeling of warmth and peace during tea drinking, and intimate conversations over a cup of hot, delicious tea will not pass without a trace - peace and harmony will always reign in your house.
