Put a plate under the paper towel to keep the absorbed liquid from possibly staining your counter top. The thinner the layer of leaves, the faster they'll dry...don't let them stay damp, they'll mildew. Of course, spreading the leaves means taking them out of the teabag unless you're using loose stock. How many infusions can you get from a standard tea bag before the leaves are spent? I'd love to get more than a couple uses from my teabags Spread the leaves in a thin layer on a paper towel.

After you have emptied the teapot completely for the first serving, the wet leaves will not continue to steep. You can infuse the leaves again.
