I need some hot tea to start my day. I find the tea in the cabinet above the hot water kettle and pull out one tea bag. I find my favorite tea mug in the other cabinet and bring it over to the kettle. I remove the teabag from the paper wrapper. While holding the tea bag, I loop the string around the handle and drop the bag in the mug. This keeps the bag from sliding completely into the mug when I Pour the water. I grab the kettle, open the lid and fill it to the limit with filtered water from the tap. I then put the kettle back on its base and turn on. It only takes a little over a minute to boil and the water is the perfect temperature for tea. I begin to slowly pour the water into my mug. The tea takes a few minutes to steep and then it's ready. 
Question: How long did it take to boil or microwave the water?
