    But isn't the questioner is saying that he's boiling the water in the teapot?

    I have an insta-hot, which probably means no self respecting Brit would have tea at my house (sorry Queen).

    Twice boiled boiling water poured sharply over tea leaves in a warmed tea pot. If poured over milk one should ask if the drinker would like it poured long, or short.
