Fill with water up to the water line. Place coffee filter in top with coffee in it. Place on stove and let "Perk" until coffee is as strong as desired.

Start by placing a few tea bags in the coffee pot, keep hanging over rim so they dont fall in and then you have to get them out. Add your water and finish regular coffee brewing steps. Steep tea bags for about 5 minutes. Sweeten to taste and there you go!

Make sure the coffee maker is clean before you try to brew tea in it, you don't want your tea to taste bitter. Next just add the tea bags or loose tea inside the filter where you would normally put the coffee, add water and your good to go.

I have always put the tea bags in as you would the coffee grounds, and percolate. I have found that the taste is the same

All you have to do is put the tea bag in the place of the coffee grounds and brew normally. Or you can just brew hot water with coffee perculator and then steep the tea bags in the hot water. The tea will taste better in my opinion made this way.

Load the basket with coffee, the pot with water, and set it on the stove or fireplace until the desired strength is reached. The taste is often slightly metallic.
