How much do you use to make tea?

It depends on your preference. Try it and see what works for you. I mix it up with regular black tea to add a little flavor. Not much, a handful for a teapot that pours 4 standard cups.

I use 8 regular-sized tea bags, but it really depends on how strong you prefer your tea to be :)

Put your tea in the mesh part and pour your hot (not boiling) water over the tea. Let steep. Depending upon the type of tea anywhere from 2 to 5 minutes. I would never set anything made of glass directly on a hot surface such as the stove.

It really depends on how strong you want your tea. i take a half teaspoon every day and it lasts about 5-6 weeks.

Depends on what you're using it for. Usually you would use 1 tsp if you put it in coffee or tea. There are lots of recipes you can use it in that call for more.

You can put as little or as much water that you want. I just adjust the amount of tea I use. I usually make at least half a pot for the basket to reach the water.

No you have to use the whole tea bag. We've found 5 gallons really doesn't end up being too much.

If you are using the bulb tea, you will have to make a full pot. The pots aren't that big anyways. If you use loose tea leaves, then you can make a smaller amount. If want even smaller than don't use that pot.

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.

truly depends on how strong you like your tea...I use about 1 Tablespoon for an entire pot of tea (no idea how many ounces that is) but I also allow 3-5minutes for steeping for STRONG tea. I have found that this tea has a very full flavor. Sorry I can't be more precise.

You will have more than enough. I have had close to 10 cups of hot tea and 10 smoothies so far and I still have half a bag left. This mix does not require a lot per beverage, it will taste horrible anytime you use more than a teaspoon.

While I have not made tea in this - we do regularly "perk" hot water in it for church functions. Individuals can then choose a tea to their liking, hot cocoa, etc. to make in a single serving cup/mug. It takes about one minute per 8oz to heat, so if you fill it half way approx 30 minutes & full 1 hour.

The rule of thumb is 1 tsp. (level) for each 8 oz. cup and 1 tsp. for the pot. So you should use 7 tsp. for your 48 oz. pot. This should work just fine. The grind of the tea used is a consideration also. If finely ground 1 level tsp. is fine. If roughly ground you may want to use a little more but this teaball should be more than adequate for whatever grind you use.

I use 3 family size tea bags. I heat the tea bags to boiling in a medium pot, then take off heat immediately, pour into pitcher, and add cold water and sugar to taste.

Depends on how strong you wish it to be; I've always used a heaping teaspoon which is equivalent to 1 tablespoon for 8 oz. water, roughly--3 minutes steeping and this is plenty strong for me.

That is precisely how you brew Tea. Heat water in a kettle then pour it into the Tea Pot with the Tea. Let it steep for around 5 minutes. Remove tea from pot. And enjoy.

As long as you keep the dry tea from open air, it should easily last 225 cups assuming you drink one to two cups a day. Store in an airtight containter and keep out of direct sunlight and you should be fine. I have kept some teas for years as they are ones I only use on occassion.
