    Method: 

    Put water into a large pot, cover and bring to a boil. Drop in tea bags, cover and steep off of the heat 5 minutes; remove and discard tea bags.

    Generously season tea with salt and pepper then stir in shallots and oil. Arrange mussels in pot and cook over high heat, shaking pot vigorously every 2 minutes or so, until mussels have opened and are hot throughout, 7 to 8 minutes. (Discard any mussels that don't open.) Ladle mussels and their broth into bowls and serve hot.
