This is a great place to ask 2 questions:
1) Anybody using single serve electric kettles that have variable temp heating? Some teas need lower temps and I'm usually drinking 1-2 cups at a time.
2) I've always imagined building some kind of adjustable mechanical whistle into a kettle to accomplish this. Is that possible to make a kettle whistle with "low" steam?
- girzel 12y agoChinese tea shops often use little electric kettles (maybe two cups worth) that sit on a base, and are kept at a constant (adjustable) temperature, usually just below boiling. The constant heating is good for lengthy tea sessions -- if you just want a cup or two you could probably just switch it off when it reaches the right temperature.
- archagon 12y agoI've "solved" the problem for myself by buying a pen-sized Thermaltake food thermometer. You heat your water until it's slightly above the right temp and then let it cool a bit while measuring. I like having a more scientific approach to my tea-drinking. :)
