There are numerous methods using a Bodum tea kettle to brew a great cup of tea. The classic, of course, is to use a tea pot. French presses, however, are becoming much more well-liked for tea as well as coffee, and provide advantages a tea pot doesn't. Bodum tea kettle travel press is a particularly useful travel kettle cup style of press.
The easiest way to make tea would be to begin out by boiling the water in advance. Use a Bodum Tea kettle, or heat in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic container. Bring the water just barely to a boil, and eliminate from heat.
You can drink your tea directly from your Bodum travel press: it's designed as a traveling cup with a sipping spout. The double-walled thermos Bodum travel press design will hold heat for as long as an hour. When your Bodum tea is finished you can add much more water for a second, weaker cup, or you are able to throw away the old leaves and start over with fresh ones.
Different teas require different heat levels and steeping times for a truly perfect cup--and different people like different strengths of tea. Feel free to experiment with your Bodum Tea Kettle to find your own perfect brew.

Don't put the lid with plunger and stem within the microwave.

Never force the plunger down into the travel press at a high speed when it is filled with hot water. The mess is bad; the burns could be worse.
