Can you drink the tea as an Ice tea? Or does it have to be hot?

Hello, i drink it as an tea in the morning or an a lunch time and i like it very much. I did not test it as an ice tea.

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.

Yes the coffee is hot enough, if it has an iced tea feature I've never used it.

You are correct in the sense that it is warm on the outside. Hot if you're ultra-sensitive. It does have a nice rim around the top that you can hold onto. However, I let the tea steep for anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes (I like mine well-steeped). I find by that time, it's easy to hold. Think of a cup in a Japaneese restaurant. It's pretty much the same. I love my first one and ordered a second.

I've never used it with tea and I'm not sure if you could. However, it says on the jar to never put in hot water, just lukewarm. With that being said I don't think you put it in tea. Also, it's best to take it between meals on empty stomach. Hope this help!

I don't let my tea sit for too long but the other day I had to get some other stuff done and when I finally got to it I thought it would have been cold if it had been in a regular cup, but to my surprise it was still pretty warm. Sorry I can't be more precise, hope it helps!

I LOVE this as iced tea. Sweetened of course. I discovered this after I accidentally let a cup go cold one day. Instead of dumping it I just added ice and it was delicious, imo.

I never use boiling water on fragile tea flowers. If you boil it, let it sit for a couple minutes or place one ice cube in it before slowly pouring it on.

My husband and I only drink it hot. It adds to the soothing effect and puts us to sleep quickly. I suppose you could drink it over ice after brewing.

I would think that you could brew the tea right in the kettle. I only heat water in the kettle because our family uses it for black tea, green tea and hot chocolate. That way everyone can choose to drink whatever they like. I also haven't put anything into the kettle for fear that it would take on the taste of what is put into it. I haven't tried it so I don't know if this is true or not.

you add hot/boiling water to this teapot. It just acts as a vessel for brewing the tea and should not be used to heat water in.

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.

You can drink it hot or cold - the sample menu of drink options included with the directions tells you how to make either hot or cold drinks (including a good ol' fashioned cup of hot coffee). I find that you may want to play with the proportions they suggest to get a given drink just the way you like it. And I found that pretty easy to do for myself. :-)

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.

Never tried it in the sun. I don't know you couldn't. We make our tea in Ice Tea Pot. Great results. My daughter who has used this tea for years, said she just dumps some into the basket. She is guessing it's about 3 tablespoons not flat not heaping.

No. You have to boil the water and then steep the tea. Well worth it though!
