In terms of making tea you want to warm the pot before you put the leaves and the boiling water in. This way the heat from the water does not go toward heating the pot but stays with the tea. You can do this by pouring a little boiling water into the pot an swish it around and then pour it out. Or you can fill it up with hot water from the tap and let the pot sit for a bit.
If you want to use milk, heat that a little too. It doesn't have to be pipping hot but warmer than room temperature. This way the milk is not scalded when you add the tea to the cup.
