Here's another thought, buy one of these Tie Tea Cups and anchor your tea bag around the tiny "cleat" before pouring the water into the cup.
The tea steeps while the string and label stay securely attached. I'm not a "leave my bag in the cup" kinda girl, so I'd still use an extra bowl for the bag after it was ready, but I think this design of the Tie Tea Cups is both clever and modern.
Stick a few tea packets inside and you'll have yourself an amazing gift idea. They're $25 a piece, so I'm not recommending getting enough for your entire extended family, but (and I think you can see where I'm going with this) maybe enough that you can have tea for two. -Betsy
