Look out for a 1kW or less kettle to keep power consumption down. There are usually a lot of available travel kettles. You will need to use hook up. Kettles that say they can be used in cars on 12v are just too slow.

Flask?
I’d argue that part of the joy of tea in the Cali is the making of it.
A bit like a Japanese tea ceremony, a ritual that involves moving almost everything from one side of the van to the other, often multiple times.

We love tea too but never an issue…… we only ever put enough water in the kettle for the both of us…… takes next to no time. Are you using a mahoosive kettle?

I went to a tea tasting on a tea plantation once, not in Yorkshire!

We learnt that tea should be made in about 20 seconds, that one shouldn’t use the same tea leaves more than six further times to make a drink. The seventh brew will probably need 35 seconds.

I always fill my gas kettle up with the mugs I make tea in. Takes no time at all.

Good idea to only heat what you need.

I always carry a teapot and a flask as well as a travel kettle. If there is still warm water in the flask it will reheat quicker. I only use the flask water direct for coffee as it does not always stay hot enough for tea.

We use a Jetboil, can’t fault it.

 

[NickAero]

We have one like this (Amazon link) bought for travelling to places without tea making facilities in the room (ie a lot of Europe). It has proved very handy in the van as you can pre-fill it in the evening and plug it in, leaving it on the sink / cooker cover. Then reach down in the morning and flick it on just before getting down from the roof.

Small kettle for gas hob

Apart from this being a slightly bizarre thread, just slow down, take in the world, boil the kettle on gas. Its hardship is overrated.

 

[T5Beachy]

Yes, flask(s) of boiling water and milk + other ingredients in airtight containers in picnic hamper!

 

[Pombear4]

Consider a jet boil. Boils in something like 100 seconds!

20 second brew is too quick for most teas that we see in the UK.

The bloke from the tea lab in the office recommends 2/3 minutes. Longer than this and you get more tannins from the leaf resulting in a sightly bitter taste...which some people like.

Isnt the onboard inverter 300W. Putting anything higher than that cause it to go into failsafe mode if you"re lucky. I"m going to test one of these out

We prepare before going to bed, mugs out, kettle filled with just enough water for two mugs. Kettle on the sink top.
When the alarm goes (yes, essential at my age) I reach an arm out from the sleeping bag, switch on the kettle & slide back into the bag. Cuddle wife for 4minutes 20 seconds or until Kettle boils. Reach out from bag, pour tea, back into sleeping bag, quick cuddle while it cools than sit up and drink.
It helps to sleep downstairs and have a double sleeping bag.
In cold weather you can add in switching on the fan heater as part of the procedure!

Getting someone else’s wife in the van and making tea for 3 has proved quite difficult, maybe I need a wider van……..
