Or just heat the mug off water in the microwave like a normal person if you're gonna leaf soup.

Wait, you microwave your tea?

just the water, and then you put the bag in after you take it out. Ceramic mug of hot water.

but i joined modern life and last year we bought an electric kettle.

Might as well just turn on the warm tap water at that point and put the tea bag in it.

If your tap water gets that hot, you should probably turn down your water heater for safety.

Does your microwave not get water hot? Am I missing something?

Your sink tap shouldn't get hot enough to steep tea in.

Or boil a small pot? When I'm somewhere away from my electric kettle, I boil a pot instead of microwave. I'm sure I'm not alone. But yeah, either way the point remains that an electric kettle is only a convenience for people who are regularly using hot water far beyond the typical American's custom.
