can these be used for hot beverages such as tea?

I would say 'yes'. We don't drink hot tea, but the glasses constantly go through hot/steamy dishwasher cycles. And, we've had hot chocolate in them.

These are made of tempered glass, so yes - they're fine for hot beverages. However, since you have no handle, the glass will be pretty hot.

I normally drink tea in a cup or mug but I agree that they are quite sturdy and withstand the hot dishwasher, so I wouldn't be afraid to try it. Your hand will get hot unless you have a cozy over the glass.

Not positive but may be OK if the mugs are warmed in hot water prior to filling with hot tea.

I haven't tried it but I don't see why not. We've used for tea and hot cocoa

Never try in hot beverage. Sorry that I don't know the answer. But some of glasses in the set are very thin toward the top. I've broken a few.

I would not use these with a hot beverage. They get super cold (colder than the beverage) with cold beverages. Using them with hot beverages could result in burned lips.

I know you can drink cold drinks, haven't tried hot- they are plastic- so I'm not 100% sure.

Hello, If you mean hot tea and coffee, yes they will work. Thank you for your interest.

Good question. I had not used mine for anything but iced beverages, so I just now poured some boiling water into one of them. The outside is just barely warm. So, yes, you can serve hot beverages in them.

I use mine for milk but I don't see why hot water couldn't be used in them. They are glass...

IMO these would not melt but they would not turn hot tea into iced tea. They keep already cold beverages cold i.e. sodas or tea that has been in the fridge but in my experience they will not turn room temperature beverages (tap water, etc.) ice cold.

Whether heat would damage them or not, I don't know. However, they would not turn hot tea cold; we have found that they keep cold things cold but do not work well at chilling a beverage.

Yes, they can get hot depending on how hot you are heating something up. The mugs have the benefit of the handle which stays cooler.

I would imagine they would get too hot to hold - we only use them for chilled or room-temp beverages. But, you could get or make some kind of cozy to keep the heat from your hand...

Shouldn't be a problem but to be safe check the manufacturer's instructions. They are made to handle boiling hot liquids.

I can't see why not, as long as they're no boiling. Pureeing soup etc. would be fine. I like mine so far.

MY opinion would be not to use HOT tea in the cups. And since you're talking about children, you sure wouldn't be using hot tea. I've used it with water and a small tea pot, and the kids love pouring more than anything. So to answer your question ...yes, but with certain restrictions.
