I used another senior (not the one I'd just aged up). That seems to be working. Nothing else would.

My quest ends soon and i cant even get ANY herbal tea
Guest said: 7th Mar 2017 | REPORT
I had to rotate it until the spout was facing to the left on the kitchen counter
Guest answered:

I had that same problem. You must make sure the Tea Pot is turned so that your Sim can get to it. I also put the Tea Pot on the kitchen table.

It didn't work

You have to put the tea pot handle outward (not toward the wall) have a kitchen table with the chair taken away with a space on the sides of the table and u should be able to have your sims make it. I had a promble with making tea but I did that and it worked for me
Guest said: 13th Sep 2016 | REPORT

if you buy the expensive tea make sure the cup faces you NOT the pot. with the regular teapot im not sure if it comes with a little cup than have that face closest to you i know it looks weird but if your sim cant reach or get to the cup they cant drink it.

Is the cup that small bowl of sugar on the expensive one? Because nothing is working
Guest said: 7th Oct 2015 | REPORT
Hi
For me I couldn't get it coz none of these answers were helping then I bought a coffee table ,put it in front of the couch but like closer to the TV so the sims could still sit on the couch the. i also bought 500 simoleon teapot and put it on the end of the table so the sim could get to it . I faced the tip of the teapot towards the couch and the back of it towards the TV and I pressed it and it worked
Hope that helped
Guest said: 6th May 2016 | REPORT

Guest answered:

the cup is suppose to face you not the tea pot with the expensive pot you have to have the small cup face you NOT the tea pot! if your sim cant drink it its because its not facing the sim in the right direction.
Guest said: 10th Jan 2015 | REPORT
It wont work!!!!
Guest said: 12th Jan 2015 | REPORT
Omg this was so helpful thanks!
Guest said: 14th Jan 2015 | REPORT
yes that works, make sure the cup faces you and put it on the kitchen table with nothing in the way
Guest answered:

Put on kitchen table and store all chairs around the tea pot so your sim can reach the tea pot to make tea

None of that is necessary. The teapot will work on the cabinet but you must make sure the teapot is not on a corner cabinet and make sure the green cup is facing the edge of the counter where the sim can walk right up to it.
Guest said: 5th Aug 2015 | REPORT
You have to buy an endtable
Guest said: 21st May 2016 | REPORT
I will try that
Guest said: 12th Oct 2016 | REPORT
Thanks it truly works
Guest answered:

It still won't work I put it on every table I have and it won't work: (

Guest answered:

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE ON THE TABLE? You have to have a bare table except for the teapot. ;)

Guest answered:

You need to have an empty table and I put it on the end and turn it and it will work trust me I had same problem

Guest answered:

You put it on the table but don't have anything on it or any chairs around it and make sure it's facing the right way

Guest answered:

It won't work I put all the chairs away and nothing else but the teapot on the table and it still won't work😡😡

It is easy
Guest answered:

They have to be able to walk behind the teapot I moved the table out put teapot on ...done!

Guest answered:

Make sure that that the boiler(tea pot) is facing the right way and to do that make sure that the arrow is pointing towards your sim. When you place it into your world it is not facing the right way.

Guest answered:

You need the budget boiler in mine but the Mr.Tea might work because I'm playing on my ipad 😊

brillo.oros answered:

Make sure you put the tea pot on dinning table with no chairs in the way. Rotate the tea pot until the spout of the tea pot is facing your sim making the tea.

As long you rotate the green arrow pointing out at a 90 degree angle (straight out). It works on anywhere you place the tea pot.
brillo.oros said: 5th Dec 2014 | REPORT
Yes, this is true as well. I decided to move my teapot again to complete the Thanksgiving task and I notice the green arrow pointing directly at my sim. Sometimes you just gotta slow down to notice the smaller details.
Guest answered:

I am having the same problem no matter what I do nothing's worked I have rotated swapped to budget one instead of mister tea sold original and bought new ones nothing works plzzzzzzz help

Guest answered:

It doesn't have to be on the table, it can be on the counter. It just have to be turned right.

Guest answered:

I had the same problem. Go to the home store and click move and sell. Click on the teapot and rotate it so that you can see an arrow pointing out of it. Put on a table, make sure it's green and exit out of the home store. Get a sim to click on it and if it says "nuh uh" with footsteps above it's head then try again. Hope this helped!

Guest answered:

If they show the little footprints that means they can't get to it so try rotating it

Guest answered:

Put the kettle on the eating table where they eat their meals then ask them to make tea it works

Guest answered:

Just put the tea pot on the counter (that's where the sink is or where you put your coffee maker)

Guest answered:

I put the 'budget boiler' on a kitchen countertop with the spout on the left and the handle on the right and it worked - hope this helps!

Guest answered:

From a regular tea pot make Pretentious Special tea. You’ll see the the dotted task pulsating - That’s how you’ll know it’s working. Maybe even going to another property in Palm Promenade to make the tea if it doesn’t work in your current location.
