Jaime: I am an aficionado of Red Rose green tea in bags! My method may be
at odds with other's, but maybe you will wish to modify it. I plunk a one
pint ceramic mug (purchased from Starbuck's) filled with tap water
(unfiltered) in my microwave, insert into the mug a RR teabag after
carefully removing the tag from the string. Some folks like to leave the
tag on for the extra smoky taste from the heated tiny staple, but I prefer
not to mask the delicate flavor of the tea. I then set the microwave for 2
minutes and 20 seconds, precisely. After that I continue to make my
breakfast omelet (about 8 minutes). When that is done, I remove the cup
from the microwave, vigorously dunk the bag up and down in the previously
described Brit method, squeeze the bag with my fingers (burns, so watch this
step) to drain the teabag and then add some Stevia for natural sweetening.
Ah, the quaintness of the tea ceremony.*G*

P. S. You don't have to make an omelet to achieve this cup of tea, as
crumpets, scones or Cheerios goes well with it.
