Ross Priddle. If your TEA POT is copper go to the plumbing supply store and get a brass faucet piece thingy with a brass screen. Use a MAPP torch and flux with solder and connect it to your tea pot. Hand sand it and use flux. Mapp weld fuel gets hot enough. No propane too cool. Otherwise buy a new tea pot. Soldering is fun. About a ten minute job. Be creative. Just replicate the function of the screen part of your tea pot. Looks don't matter. Use a paint brush to paint on flux while hot and soldering. Its easy. But you gotta use a MAPP tank on your torch. They cost about $4.00 and are usually yellow. Hardware store. Plumbing section.

Harold Bloom read a little too fast to fully understand anything. I got my hands full of Lucifers, bro... take a number.

Take a drill and carefully drill out the filter. Japanese-chinese-korean-asians have well water-creek water-rain barrel. Canadians should use snow. Snow is pure. No chlorine-flouride to corrode things. In future/summer maybe buy distilled water to brew with. The bun steamers at restaurants require distilled water or they behave like your tea pot. I say drill it out carefully if you got a drill. Then a bastard file a few times in it to clean it up. Use TWINNINGS EARL GREY BREAKFAST TEA and a TEA BALL INFUSER. I used this method in Anchorage AK. in the 1980's before cross country skiing. A stainless steel tea ball infuser in a hot cup of water. Use a stove top tea pot/ coffee pot. Wrap tea in a coffee filter and stuff it in the aluminum filter holder. Where the coffee goes. Glass top coffee pot perculator type.

I only drink Jasmine tea. Sunflower brand. I think a drill might be OVERKILL, no? Let me try a pipecleaner first... maybe i'll enter the dollar store for the first time in my life & see if they have pipecleaners.
