And no, the microwave is not a valid option.

    Exactly. Also an interesting phenomenon I saw when microwaving water for tea is that, because it’s so foamy and bubbly, the tea packet floats to the top when you drop it in which makes it harder to mix in the taste.

    Those few weeks where my kettle wasn’t working were dark times.

      That’s not what is happening. If you drop a bag into water the whole bag gets wet and seals the air inside causing it to float.

      Slowly lower the bag into the water so the air can escape through the dry top and it’ll sink.
