Frequently Asked Questions:
Can you put tea bags instead of tea powder in a kettle?
Preferably not, because steeping a tea bag inside the kettle not only impacts the flavor of the tea you’re making but also affects the future pots of tea. Instead, you can boil water in a kettle and pour it over a teabag in a cup to enjoy a perfectly brewed tea.
Are all electric kettles suitable for making milk tea?
Compared to standard electric kettles, multi-purpose kettles are most suitable to make milk tea. The reason is that most standard models are meant to boil water whereas the multipurpose electric kettle is meant to cook various dishes like boil eggs, brew tea, prepare oatmeal/soup, etc. with its different temperature ranges and durability. So, it is better to use a multi-purpose electric kettle for making milk tea.
Which electric tea kettle is safe for making tea?
One should avoid buying kettles that come with a plastic interior. The reason is that it starts to melt/break down while heating and causes cracks and may the unwanted chemicals get into water/food. So, prefer to use stainless steel, glass or ceramic interior kettles, which are quite safe and easy to use.
Conclusion:
Electric kettles are much safer, faster and convenient compared to a traditional stovetop. While making milk tea using an electric kettle, you need to monitor it constantly till the end. Mostly people living in hostels or travelling will prefer to make tea in this kettle.
