Traditionally Koreans drink tea made of roasted barley or roasted corn. This roasted tea is thrown in a copper kettle along with water and put directly on the stove. The little mesh braiding by the spout prevents the barley or corn from pouring out into the cup.

Liz admits that now she uses electric kettles to make tea as they are more convenient but these traditional copper kettles have been a part of her life. Although they don’t use them for tea anymore, they use them as water pitchers at the restaurant.
