If I were to make iced tea with this, how many bags would I use? The internet says a bag per cup of water but 8 bags for 2 quarts seems like a lot.

Ive never made Iced Tea with this, but it's pretty strong. For a normal pitcher of tea, we use 4-5 bags of tea, so for this I might use 3-4.That said, we also often make hot tea and then put ice into it in the fridge.

I think it depends on how much cinnamon flavor you like. I prefer it to have a lot of cinnamon flavor so I would recommend you go with the full amount. I like to let it seep a long time when drinking hot to really get the sweet cinnamon flavor of it. I don't have it iced very often but when I do I like it full strength. I hope that helps.

I make my tea by the cup and use 2 tablespoons and steep it in the little mesh bags I buy in the Oriental food section of the grocery store. Hope that helps you.

honestly I don't know. But its a big bag and I expect about 200 to 300 cups out of it. It also depends how much you use per cup. I have a "tea-egg" that gets filled up with the tea so as not to spill the little leaves into the cup, and that makes for a uniform usage and strength of tea. Hope that helps, Bernd

I make this into iced tea often. It is a great iced tea, in fact. My favorite is just using a teaspoon and a half to make a mug of tea, and then pouring that mug over ice in a glass. I also make iced tea in my keurig machine. Two teaspoons into the loose filter, select the smallest cup size, brew, pour over ice, select the next size up, brew, pour over ice. I have made a half gallon out of two teaspoons that way.

The pot size is 2 quarts, so it really depends on the size of your cups. It can make 4 (8 ounces) cups of tea,

No you shouldn't use half a tea bag. This bag shoul come with 4 tea bags, making five gallons each bag for a total of 20 gallons of compost tea. If you decide to use each bag more than once it's your call, but it could be less potent. This will also increase the total gallons.

Depending on how strong you want it and what recipe you are following I would estimate 4 quarts. It was may more tea leaves than I could imagine

Each tea bag is stitched closed. But you can brew with less than 5 gal of water per tea bag if you prefer.

Sorry, I don't know how many cups there are in an 8 pd bag, but I can tell you that I've used about 4 cups so far and my bag still looks full. i use this to make my own magnesium oil. So once I'm finished, I just make a whole new batch, nothing to reuse.

I brew 3 bags at one time with the proper amount of water (24oz for 3 bags) and I drink it for half of day then brew 3 more in the afternoon and drink it all by bedtime. I would not have the patience to drink a cup at a time. It has worked amazingly for me. I add almond, coconut or soy milk to mine.

I use a small muslin bag I had purchased for brewing loose tea - can't remember where I bought them but they were cheap and bought online. I use 1 1/2 teaspoons of ground coffee and it works well. The bag is 2"X3" and has a string closure. You can then add the used coffee grounds to your garden and rinse the bag out for next time. So much cheaper than using the pods. I did buy the Melita pods that fit this unit and it's great coffee. But over time it's not really cost-effective to do this. So I thought I'd experiment with some decaf and am quite pleased with the result. Good luck - if you find something else to use, please post it on the Amazon review area to let everyone know.

You can get 8oz at one time. The instructions for both the coffee and the tea options will tell you to fill a 16oz cup with ice and use 8oz of water in the machine (and the machine will only take the 8oz of water in at a time.

There are 48 large tea bags in this carton. The bags are for a qt of tea, these are not the small 1 cup size bags. This stuff is GREAT.

Hey Nick, I've never seen a gallon size tea bag, so I wouldn't be able to give you an accurate answer. But, to give you an idea, I use 7-8 Tetley British round tea bags with no problem. Sorry, I couldn't be of anymore help.

I used a large tea infuser for pitchers of tea....I am able to get 3 large pitchers out of 1 bag - I like mine quite strong - then add extra ice, and water to serve. If you preferred less strong tea you probably to make 4 pitchers per bag.

Well I've never used a coffee maker but I use 8-10 bags per pot of tea. If you use less I don't see a reason to switch.
