Can you use this to make sun tea?

I'm not sure because the insert is plastic so I don't know if it will hold up to boiling water.

Yes. I'm making tea now in the pitcher. It works out well. I don't use the filter though. I put a little Stevia in with what teas I like at the timeand in a few hours the "sun" tea is ready but I don't the pitcher out in the sun -- just sitting it in the kitchen window with some morning sun works fine forme. Hope I answered your question.

I don't see why not although you would have to use tea bags. Loose tea would get through the strainer insert since the holes are not that fine.

P.S. I do use tea bags and some loose tea in a tea ball. I'm playing with cinnamon stick, cloves and cardamon. Some of the blends I've "created" have been very nice additions for summer drinks.

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

Not sure but I think it might. I'm assuming you would need to let it steep longer than tea.

Yes, you can! I tried using a tea bag, but the tea tasted weak. But good idea with the loose tea, maybe the tea will come out better.

Yes, you can, but to be honest, if you want to use it for coffee again, I would use a completely separate pot for the tea. I have 2 - one for coffee, and one for 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.

This DOES NOT work with sun brew tea jars.. the spigots for the tea jars are smaller in diameter than this one. I think this only works for the water dispensers

Absolutely! You can use any tea in this product, it doesn't have to be teavana products. I use my own loose tea.

Yes, what I use it for. I have a pitcher that I can pour the hot tea into & add ice or just refrigerate.

Yes, you can but Depends on the temperature of your waterI always put hot water in the bottle, it can keep boiling hot for long time. little sip is fine.Lid is normal, but you can store some tea inside the lid. but it wont help make tea

You can, but I have invested in the tiny filters to keep the brew from having bits of leaves. I am sure Amazon carries these. I got mine at Brd, Bath and Beyond. I love my iced tea pot.

Definitely. In fact you realize you usually use too much tea with traditional teapots (and waste). You can easily run a second batch. Just add half a spon on top.

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.

Absolutely! I make sun tea every dingle day that I am home. When I make hot tea I usually put it in the microwave. My in-law makes hit tea in it all the time.

I haven't tried to make tea, the holes are large enough for loose tea to fall into the hot water. You could use it to infuse already brewed tea with flavors. I mostly use it to flavor water with crushed mint.

yes, I have used it to make my own Earl Grey for over 10 years. Put on loose tea not in your tea cup or it will probably be too strong.

Hi Eileen, You can brew your tea in this pot and pour it into your iced tea pitcher for iced tea. Hope that helps! Teavana 32 oz Perfectea Maker
