That sounds like my usual tea method, minus the microwave. I often use the kuerig without the coffee and throw a tea bag in the cup.

Nothing fancy about loose leaf tea, really. At it's most basic, put leaves in a cup, add boiling water. That does make drinking it a little awkward though. You can buy empty tea bags to put the leaves in, and then just treat it like any other tea bag.

Alternatively, stuff the tea leaves into a coffee maker.
