What is the most eco-friendly way to make a cup of tea? - eco cups
I ask because I drink lots of tea, and I heard that using a lot of electricity to the boiler. Also, it would be better than boiling water in my electric oven or microwave? What is the minimal use of electricity to complete the task?

Continue to use hot water, but often enough water for the number of cups of tea you want. It takes less time, and therefore less energy to cook a small amount of water that a large amount of water. Even if you continue your kettle, just fill the water boils a few times.
So my advice is - only boil the amount of water you really need at any given time. You will be amazed at the amount of energy saved.
Microwave ovens are considered the most environmentally Freindly, but it takes time, and somehow the water tastes funny.
The main boiler using a large amount of power because the people on the water to boil. If you put just enough to not cover the bottom and save your cup of electricity as the water heater simple, really.
I boil a cup of water for coffee in the microwave.
It only takes 1min. And 40 seconds. I'm not heating more water than I need as I would if I used a kettle.
Use cold water. I could not very well, but do not have all the powers.
Again, only the amount of water you need to cook, I also think that my water heater tends to the water too long before it goes off when cooking from me if I "water boils at only this one lot to save energy and be environmentally friendly .
I drink too much tea to use as a pot of tea is not very cool, but good
Microwave is certainly faster.
You will need the same amount of energy to boil water, no matter how you do it - provided you start with the same temperature. If you let the water to reach templerature environment from the beginning of a warming that could save energy (assuming that the tap water is below room temperature)
Use only water that you need. See if you find a water heater with good insulation, so that the heat is not used to the boiler itself - a shiny metal is best warm.
Also make sure that the heater is not covered in lime.
If you really want to make environmentally friendly tea SO thing.Just remove the tea into a bottle and do not let nature w/H2O his thing. Even within the burden of workers just takes longer.
