This is how my family makes tea. Warning: This method will produce a lot of tea! So if you're not a big tea drinker ignore this!
And this is definitely not how Alton Brown makes his tea, sorry Alton! (lol)

1. Get a dutch oven (I did say it'd make a lot of tea) and fill it nearly to the top with water and place on stove top with two teabags clothes pinned to the pot. (use wood, plastic may melt.) *Trust me this will make it easier to get the bags out later.
2. Turn oven on to six or low medium. You want it to steep not boil!
3. Let it sit there for seven minutes then take it off the heat...
