Do you have to use boiling water to make this?

yes. I actually just put the bags in a coffee maker where you put the coffee filter and coffee grounds. Very easy

Yes, or you can use it in a drip-style coffee pot like Mr. Coffee. In this case, you don't need to use a filter.

You do not HAVE to use boiling water. You can use hot (not boiling) or cold water and wait 30-60 minutes and have tea. Hot water is faster, boiling is even faster. I use these to cold brew. Put the bags in a pitcher of water, put the pitcher in a refrigerator. In a couple hours, the ice tea is ready and it is cold.

We use an ice tea brewer like a coffee maker that filters the hot water through the bags. They do make a cold brew version - we haven't tried it, but you don't need to boil water for that one.

I sure haven't tried that. I would suggest a mild bleach and water solution rather than boiling water. Good luck!

That's a good question. I would say yes with hot tap water, but not so sure about boiling water.

I'm not sure if it is necessary, but I did just to be safe. I boiled mine for a few minutes before using it the first time and wash it out each time after with hot, soapy water.

Don't to that it is made of plastic and boiling water will melt it. Steam is just a fake word in this case, you only get spray.

No, This is a thin glass and I am sure boiling water would crack it immediately. I can't tell you for sure because I never tried it and I don't think I will. You can brew iced tea by placing the tea bags in the container and add cold water. Let it sit on your counter top for a few hours. It will be fine tea.

I have poured boiling water in for coffee, no problem. Washed up to as clear a finish as I began with! Hope this helps

You need to cook with boiling water..some meals require you to add to boiling water and then reduce heat to simmer for 15-18 minutes. Hope this is helpful.

Yes. The instructions tells you to boil parts. I think the only part you can't is the tube.

I am not sure. Never throw it in boiling water but washed it with hot boiled water before & it was ok. hope my answer helps.

No. The water must be boiled separately in a pot on the stove or in an electric or regular kettle.

I use piping hot water from a kureg coffee pot, it is easier than boiling it. It is suppose to be boiling water but hot seems to work ok, just takes a little longer.

As far as I can tell they need to be made with boiling water...never tried any other way. I've been buying them for quite some time, and we love them.

No but you don't need the whistle it steams when ready. If you're using it for coffee and tea, you don't want boiling water. That can scald the beans/leaves.

No, you can't but you don't need to. I put a little white vinegar into the kettle with some hot water and leave it overnight. Don't try to boil the water/vinegar mixture as it will boil over.

NO! I have poured boiling water in it, but do not place it on a stove and heat it because it will break!

This is like a small inflatable swimming pool. I wouldn't think boiling water would be too good for it. It is made for ice.
