Do you use with boiling water or can you make with cold water?

I use very hot water just short of boiling. Never tried with cold water but I guess you could waste a teabag and try it out, right? Lipton does make a large tea bag just for cold water and it works very well.

This product is for boiling water. Luzianne sldo has a tea bag for cold water.

Hi Mrs. Valle, I believe the better way to make tea is with hot water, but you can probably get away with using cold water as well. I hope that helped you. Roger S.

That's how I use mine. Let the water sit about a half minute off the boil. Better for the coffee or tea that way.

No, This is a thin glass and I am sure boiling water would crack it immediately. I can't tell you for sure because I never tried it and I don't think I will. You can brew iced tea by placing the tea bags in the container and add cold water. Let it sit on your counter top for a few hours. It will be fine tea.

I never poor the water in the pot until I'm ready to make coffee. However, I never use hot water. The instructions say to use cold.

Yes you can use it with hot water. You just have to use a hot water hose use a "Y" connector so you can also have cold.

Use hot water in lower container to keep food warm. Use ice water in lower container to keep food cold. Obviously, if you want to keep food cold, you don't use the burners.

I like to use a heaping teaspoon with 12 oz . . . but then add to taste. Make sure the water is near boiling and you get the best result. Enjoy.

I've used very warm water and it is fine. It is medium to heavy vinyl so it could probably handle pretty hot water. Don't know about boiling water.

I mean I've used hot water for cleaning purposes, but honestly I've never tried using boiling water I feel that would be too hot. Just my opinion though

My daughter and I pour boiling water into it to make tea. HOWEVER, we do use an old 'trick' my mom taught me, and that is to put a long metal spoon or metal tongs into the pitcher before we pour the hot water. We don't know if this is something actually necessary, but haven't gotten up the nerve to NOT use this 'trick' every time. Hope that helps!

I have used cold water and it worked okay, but much better with hot water. So my answer would be an absolute Yes.

I have found that it is safe but question why you would need boiling hot water. Prepare the tea or other hot/cold beverage to your liking and enjoy for hours. I have made hot chocolate and it was still VERY hot 16 hours later!! We made hot chocolate for a high school football game. We didn't drink it all. The next morning, I opened it to find it was still VERY hot 16 hours after initial preparation!!

That is a good question! And to tell the truth I use both depending how soon I need them. Point 1: If I plan to use them in some the next day I use hot tap water. I let these set for about 12 to 24 hours. This aloes the hash brown to full re hydrate. I like to add dryed onions to both ways as well as my seasonings. Point 2: If I decide to use them the same day I use boiling water and I let them set for about a hour. This gives the potatoes a good taste.

Yes, I use mine to brew tea and have added boiling hot water from my kettle. The pitcher has been room temp when I've done this, never cold from the fridge.

Yes you can by keep holding the shot botton.. or click program then click one of the botton and stop it after you get enough water... it is going to be hot enough for small cup of amricano but it is better to use katle to heat your water for boiling

I have never tried cold water. I always heat water first, then stir in the mix.

No, it will not boil water. You could make tea/instant whatever with it as it gets plenty hot, but not boiling.
