Could this or the 32 oz. version be used to make iced tea?

I started with the 16oz size to make regular (hot) tea. I wanted the 32oz size to make a cup for me and my wife at the same time. It is clearly labelled at the Amazon site as the iced tea size. I called Adagio and they said it could be used for either iced tea or hot tea.

Well yes. You could steep it and let it cool off for awhile and then put it over a cup filled with ice. It is just a very convenient teapot basically that strains the leaves when you put it on a cup and drain the tea. So use it how you would normally make iced tea.

If you double-brew it (with twice the amount of tea), then you can just put ice in it when it's done steeping to make iced tea.

I have not made iced tea with it but I know it makes great tea and you should be able to cool it after it brews or even put it over ice....this is so much easier than a tea pot and the clean up is quick and easy..I love it....

Yes, we make tea in both the 16 oz. and 32 oz. version of these depending on how much we are brewing.

I have made tea with my 16oz pot, by simply making the tea stronger and adding to ice. It takes a little bit of experimenting to get the strength/ice mixture perfect, but Im a serious tea snob.I have also steeped the strong tea, released it into a cup after steeping, allowed to cool then poured over ice and water added to taste SO to answer your question, yes I suppose you could, BUT unless you are making more than a pitcher of ice tea, I would consider buying the 16oz. Either way, if you love tea and love simplicity....buy one of these!

Yep. I've used it to make iced tea. I would not put a sweetener in the tea pot though.

Yes it will make ice tea. Fill a glass that will fit under the brewer with ice and brew a kcup of tea. You may want to use a plastic tumbler as the glass may shatter.

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.

Well, not really. The tea brews down hot over the ice which dilutes and cools to make the perfect strength iced tea. I use a whole tray of cubes plus a couple more, 10 tea bags, and water to the line they put on the inside of the brewer. Results are great, cooled tea. Doesn't come out icy cold - but then you can pour it over ice, or refrigerate until cold. Without ice in the pitcher - you may as well just use a tea kettle and tea pot method.

I use 6 slightly rounded teaspoons for 1/2 gallon of iced tea. I brew my tea in a dedicated for tea coffee pot and let it cool on the counter top in a carafe. I've never made sun tea with this tea before. I would imagine you could put the tea in packets and make it with the sun.

Yes! I purchased it to make homemade tea, and I put the boiling water directly into it. No problem so far. It also has a nice slim design, for a 64oz pitcher.

I use it with the 24 oz container. It is a little snug. It does stretch. I would say maybe on the 32oz and a big no on the 40oz.

I've made loose leaf & tea bags....same way as coffee....with excellent results. You have to be the judge as to how much tea to use, depending on how strong you want the tea to be. I've made hot tea and tea for iced tea. I love this item...tea keeps without growing stale, same as coffee. No metal and no plastic makes for a great brew!

That's a good question. The 30 oz suggested by Amazon will not work. It is too big. We have not found one that matches the drink master.

No, the infuser that holds the tea does all the work, it's really just for looks, I would never make iced tea with these because the whole point is for it to look nice in a tea cup for your guests as it steeps in the hot water. Make sure you buy tea bag holders as you can use the same infuser to make a second or third cup of tea.

Does not say! One packet with the loose tea can be used up to 64 fluid Oz of water. Hope this helps!

Sorry....I don't know. But I love it. I've been making iced tea for over 50 years.....boiled loose leaves. This makes the best tea.

I don't drink beer, but I don't imagine it would be that much different than iced tea. Works great for tea!

Yes! I use this lid, with and without straw, very successfully with 18 oz, 32 oz and 64 oz.

I wouldn't. I steep extra strong tea in a pot, let it cool and pour over pitcher that is filled with ice. Hope this helps. The plastic does not seem to be the type for boiling liquids directly.

I use mine to make iced tea but I think it will make about 5 cups of tea if it's filled all the way up.

That's what I bought it for. The recipe took over half the 7oz. I didn't measure but that's an eye ball guess. :)
