Can I use this to make iced tea in the flash chill method - e.g. tea leaves + half hot water, then add ice and shake up?

The manufacturer says: Healthy BPA-free AcraGlass material is non-toxic and lightweight, with glass-like clarity; perfect for boiling hot or freezing cold beverages.

I must admit that I haven't tried yet but I am pretty sure it would work fine. Anything that just needs freezing while being stirred will work.

I think so. Usually I will do that if I forget my cup somewhere and the tea gets cold. I just add ice and keep sipping.

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 don't see why you couldn't but are you aware that a lot of teas should never be put into boiling water? A lot of teas actually are recommended to be done at lower temperatures. I'm not trying to solicit but I am part of a company that does sell loose leaf tea and there is a tea app if you have an apple or android cell phone that you can download for free. Go to your app store and look up Tealightful It has a lot of great information about all types of tea.

I've never made ice tea in it but I imagine you make it just like coffee & then pour it over ice. It does make the coffee pretty hot but because I use cold cream in my coffee, I put it in the microwrave for 30 second to compensate for the cream cooling it off. If you drink black, it will be nice & hot.

Sorry I haven't tried to make that however, it does crush ice well and you can save lots of $$ making your own summer ice drinks like coolattas! Sometimes I put in coffee, or crystal lite, or lemon, or even tea! I have not had enough time to use it BUT when I do, no regrets!

Yes you can, but I would add some ice cubs to it if the item is room temperature or water if the items are chilled. You get a quicker result if you quarter a big fruit or vegetable.

It's the same as any other iced tea, just add it after the tea is made and the filter removed from the tea maker. If you do that before adding the ice, the tea should be still warm enough to dissolve your sugar. If you have trouble dissolving the sugar, make a little sugar syrup (1 part sugar to 1 part hot water) then add it to the tea.

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.

I just posted a you tube video, showing you how to use your ice tea maker. Hope that helps.

You can mix it with cold water if you use a blender. When I want to have it iced. I do a little(1/2 C) of warm water, mix it and then add the cold to it and then ice and it comes out real good.

I would not add it to iced tea. It only goes well with dairy products. I've mixed it with milk, almond milk and yogurt.

I suppose that you could. However, the ice melts as the tea is brewed which makes it the correct strength for drinking. If you were going to make tea without much ice, you might want to reduce the amount of tea you use.
