Are these tea bags single serving or for making a whole pitcher?

You could make a whole pitcher if you use a bunch together. Individual otherwise.

They are in individual tea bags. You'd have to figure out how many tea bags to make a pitcher.

No, the lids just slip down into the pitcher. I don't think I would attempt to shake to mix in these. They do work fine for mixing sugar into tea but we use a spoon. Hope this helps.

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

infusers are not designed for tea bags, they're to be used with loose tea that has not been ground finely like the bags. The ball is 2" diameter, so place the amount of loose tea that you hope to use into a piece of plastic wrap and roll it into a ball. If the size is under 2" in diameter, this will work for you.

No, you put the tea bags in this then fill with boiling water to make tea. You don't microwave them either. You let the teapot sit for a few minutes, then pour out the tea. Enjoy!

Each tea bag is stitched closed. But you can brew with less than 5 gal of water per tea bag if you prefer.

They are single use--they are mostly for people on the go. You freeze your portions in the bags and then they go directly to the microwave. If you don't have time to cook/clean up every night they are wonderful. I also use them for my lunches because they are so quick and convenient.

If you wanted to use tea bags, why did you buy the tea pot in the first place? You can just use any cup for that.

not for making a pitcher of ice tea, but if you need a glass at a time you could use it to heat the water to steep the tea bag for one glass at a time. not practical but possible. i use it for hot tea because i can regulate the temperature.

No you have to use the whole tea bag. We've found 5 gallons really doesn't end up being too much.

No, these are quite nice for all sorts of treats. They bend nicely to release your goodies and wash up perfectly for your next creation. They are one of the best ways to make single servings of all kinds, from tarts, mini pecan or pumpkin pies, muffins, fancy cakes or candies, that is in my opinion. Enjoy!

I haven't tried to actually make the chai tea in the pot... I prefer to keep it strictly for my milk needs and I make my matcha the traditional way. There aren't any weird parts that would prevent you from making anything in it since the stirring / frothing piece works by external magnet so there aren't any mechanisms in the pitcher itself.

They are the same as the pitchers that come with the new iced tea makers. Only difference is the color of the lid and handle.

My wife and I have various sized tea bags. We tend to do a trial and error depending on the tea you use. For normal, one cup, lipton sized bags; we use about 6 for mild tea, and 8-10 when we want it stronger. We also have some chinese loose tea that we also use. Most will depend on how strong you want, plus a trial and error.

Try buying the Lipton yellow label loose leaf tea from amazon. I got a pound for ~$10 and it works great (http://smile.amazon.com/dp/4639725043/) and should make many gallons of tea. The taste is similar to Lipton bags but smoother (and better) in my opinion. I've been using 2 1/2 tablespoons of tea per pitcher and brewing for 4-5 minutes.

I don't see any reason you couldn't use just tea bags. However, I personally use a filter even though I use tea bags. The reason is that sometimes some of the tea escapes the bag. It wouldn't take much to clog the drain system for the tea in which case you would wind up with a messy overflow. The filter provides added protection and helps ensure uniform flow of the tea out of the reservoir.

Yes, I use these bags for coffee and tea. They work great for camping in the big coffee pot and hold up well to long periods of boiling. And they're re-usable!
