How to Use Cast Iron Teapot

1. Fill the teapot with hot water and let it sit for a few minutes to warm the cast iron. Then, pour out the water and dry the teapot with a soft cloth.
2. Add your desired amount of loose leaf tea to the infuser basket and place it in the teapot. You can also brew tea directly in the teapot by placing the loose leaves at the bottom of the pot.
3. Fill the teapot with hot water and replace the lid. Allow the tea to steep for the desired amount of time.
4. When the tea is ready, use the handle to pour it into cups. Be careful as the cast iron may be hot.

How to Clean Cast Iron Teapot

1. After each use, discard any leftover tea leaves and rinse the teapot with warm water. Avoid using soap or harsh detergents, as this can damage the enamel coating.
2. For stubborn stains or residue, fill the teapot with equal parts water and white vinegar and allow it to soak for a few hours. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
3. To prevent rust, always dry your teapot thoroughly after cleaning and never leave it soaking in water.
4. If you notice any rust spots, gently scrub them with a mixture of baking soda and water using a soft-bristled brush. Rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly.
5. To maintain the shine of the exterior, wipe it down with a damp cloth and dry immediately. Do not use abrasive cleaning pads or steel wool, as this can scratch the surface.

By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your Akitsu Cast Iron Teapot & Trivet remains in excellent condition and ready to use for many tea moments to come. Enjoy the unique experience of steeping tea in traditional Japanese style with this beautiful teapot.
