I've been drinking iced Earl Grey with no sweetener for years. How do you do your brew?

I've got a four-cup pot (24z) and a deep wire mesh basket for it. I most do looseleaf, but I have a reliable fujian in teabags and a pretty nice chai masala that's also pre-bagged.

Electric gooseneck kettle is also 24z, so it works out perfectly.

For the cup, I've got two sets of handleless teacups, 3z and 4z, and one handmade heavier 5z cup that was a present from my wife. I didn't like it at first because it's so large and the balance is weird, but it's grown on me; the balance is perfect when it's full, and only leans towards the handle when it's empty.
