Every time I’m out and opt for tea over wine, my friends knowingly laugh, but in fact tea isn’t that much different from wine in its complexity. Most people are unaware that tea is so complex, even though, depending on the variety you need to brew it for a very specific amount of time and at a specific temperature to maximize both the health benefits and the flavors. Boiling water is not ideal! Most of us however don’t have the time and energy to fret over these kinds of things, which is where gadgets like Breville Infusion One-Touch Tea Maker come in. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is far from easy (am I the only one who can sit down in front of the TV and eat nearly a WHOLE box of Kashi??), so I’m all about gadgets that can make it even just a little bit easier and this one is EASY. It’s basically a one-touch deal! Plus, aside from green, white, Oolong, and black tea, you can use it as a French press.
Never worry about over steeping or temperature as the tea maker adjusts everything on its own. You can also use it as a hot water kettle, wash it in your dishwasher, and it even has a “keep warm” setting. We all overindulged over the holidays. Do yourself a favor and pick up one of these babies and some Detox Tea. Breville One-Touch Electric Tea Kettle at Bloomingdale’s for $249.99 (from $327).
