I have two disjoint answers:

1. Most Americans don't drink tea; they drink coffee.
2. By putting a water-filled vessel on the stove.

I have a teakettle that goes on the stove. It takes about three
times as long to heat water in it as in an electric kettle. I
don't care about that; I go back to bed and snuggle with my husband
while waiting to hear the teakettle whistle.
