Or boil a small pot? When I’m somewhere away from my electric kettle, I boil a pot instead of microwave. I’m sure I’m not alone.

just the water, and then you put the bag in after you take it out. Ceramic mug of hot water.

If your tap water gets that hot, you should probably turn down your water heater for safety.
