How to keep your teabag's tag from falling into your tea.

Step 4: Pour the water!

Then pour (1) the(2) water! (3)
You can see it even worked in the large pint size tumbers I usually drink from as well as common mugs and paper cups from the office.

There is some magic physics here, that I know nothing of. But I can pour my tea with one hand free (to spoon in honey, milk, hold a cast iron kettle, or simply snap photos for instructables!

When the tea is ready I can remove my teabag at any time, without a fuss for a perfect cup of tea.

Thanks for enjoying! Drink up, yo!

I wrap the strings on handle of teapot or ear of the handle of tea mug if using bags, but for glass type service use a rubber band over the string and if you must make the string wrap around the rubber band 3-4 times.

if you are on hike and not a gram weenie , put cold water and bag(s) in nalgene bottle, and heat with aky stove in a pot rinse with clear water. by end of a 3 hour hike the tea is steeped (cold) and is less bitter

you could just put the teabag in after you pour the drink and use the spoon against the side of the cup to get the flavour. good idea though.

spoons are dishes! who wants those?

If the string the little booklet is stapled to is long enough, just set the cup or mug on it.

True, but the teabag's string is rarely long enough for a large glass as shown, or a nalgene... its is a trick for the non-traditional tea-drinker. :-)
