Who invented the Tea Cozy?
The English, Irish, Norwegians and Danish have,
at one time or another, all been credited with the invention of the Tea Cozy.
The generally accepted version of how the Tea Cozy was invented goes back to the 1600s and the Irish.
Farmers in Ireland would typically have a large pot of tea with dinner each evening.
The story goes that one evening a farmer was having dinner when he reached across the table and his hat fell off, covering the tea pot.
Later when he went to pour more tea and removed the hat he discovered the tea was still very warm.
His wife desided to make a cover for their tea pot and called it a "cosy".
What is a Tea Cozy, anyway ?
A tea cozy is a fabric cover, much like an oven mitt, which is placed over a teapot in order to prevent heat loss.
Cozies come in a variety of shapes and sizes.
Most are designed simply to cover the entire pot, handle and spout.
Some, however, are made with openings and elastic so that they cover only the body of the teapot, leaving the handle and spout exposed so that you need not remove the cozy in order to pour the tea.
A cozy is primarily useful if you make several cups at a time and want the extra tea to remain hot in the pot until you are ready to drink it.
Note that ceramic handles tend to become very hot when the pot is kept warm in this fashion. If you have never used a cozy, be careful!
