can this be used to make Iced tea?

Hello Eileen,We advise to brew the tea in the regular form with adding more tea for iced tea and then having it drain over a cup of ice.

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

I made a loose Teavana blackberry Mojito tea, poured it over ice & added a splash of lemonade & blackberry syrup.

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.

I make iced tea in mine but start it with almost boiling water. I do rInse hot water in it before though to warm it up.

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 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.

No, it makes plain iced tea. However I have found if you want great lemon flavor, TrueLemon packets are a great thing to have on hand (packets are premeasured and don't need refrigeration).

Not sure but I think it might. I'm assuming you would need to let it steep longer than 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, according to Hamilton Beach, you can use loose leaf tea or tea bags to make Iced Tea.

Yes, I brew iced tea the old-fashioned way as well. And right from the pot I add my brewed water and then filled it up. I had no problems at all. In addition to being really attractive, the infusion really does add the perfect blend of flavor. I infuse my OJ with pineapples and my entire family loves it!!!

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.

That depends on the kind of tea you are using and the potency you are looking for. I've used this to make a 1.5 liter size pitcher of sun tea and I've also used it to make a 18 ounce size of hot tea. You will have to experiment a bit to find your flavor level. Since it is big, you have more room to "play". Sorry I couldn't give you a more direct answer, hope this helps

I haven't tried it but I don't see why not. We've used for tea and hot cocoa

The answer to your question is no. It is not meant for use like a tea ketttle. You boil the water first then pour into teapot with tea bag and let it steep for a few minutes. I love this set, very classy.

As far as I know, all iced drinks are made hot, then let cool and ice added later. As far as I know, cool or cold water does not work well to extract flavor from coffee or tea. This machine won't allow you to pump the water (through the cartridge) into your cup unless and until the water is HOT.

Yes. Plug it in fill water to line inside white part. Then add ice to fill line in container. I add 1/3 cup of sugar to the ice. Put two family sized tea bags in the basket. Perfect tea every time.

Yes you may. I put hot tea and added water to dilute. Let it cool then put into refrigerator. Make sure the the spout handle is far enough back from the door when closed or you will have a lot of liquid dumped.
