How much tea will this hold? I'm want to use it to brew enough to make one gallon of iced tea.

Hi. This tea infuser was designed to hold only a little tea. It's great for making several cups, but it is not big enough to make a gallon. You would have to use it several times in order to get your gallon.

I make this into iced tea often. It is a great iced tea, in fact. My favorite is just using a teaspoon and a half to make a mug of tea, and then pouring that mug over ice in a glass. I also make iced tea in my keurig machine. Two teaspoons into the loose filter, select the smallest cup size, brew, pour over ice, select the next size up, brew, pour over ice. I have made a half gallon out of two teaspoons that way.

I will have to ask my granddaughter as I bought it for her. It is roughly the same size as my own teapot which holds 4 12oz. cups.

Hello. As a matter of fact it is bigger than i thought. It can hold at least 2-3 Tablespoons, and its more intended to prepare a large quantity of tea rather than a single mug.

It depends on the size of the tea cups you use. I can serve up to 4-6 people using mine (small saucers) but actual measurement holds 2.5-3 cups using the enclosed strainer. The tea stays warm close to a hour. Hope you get it and enjoy!

Hello, The pot we purchased was 18/10 and is very sturdy and has held up very well to use. We have enjoyed using it. However, it is not a pot for use in steeping a single cup. It takes about 24 ounces of water to cover the infuser well enough steep a pot of tea. If you are steeping tea for two or more it is great, but it would not work for a single cup. I hope this helps!

Filled to the brim with no infuser or tea in there I got 27 fl oz (800 mL) in there. I was even able to add another 1.5 ounces (to 850 mL) before anything came spilling out the spout. Filled to 27 fl oz or more, though, it would be difficult to pour without it spilling out out the top. With tea in there I will end up using this teapot for around 20 fl oz (600 mL) of tea.

Filled to the rim the pot holds 44 fl oz (1300 mL). This leaves no room for tea leaves/bags and water will spill out the top if you try to pour it.The maximum for actual use would be around 37 fl oz (1100 mL).

I have never used the cup but I'm guessing it should easily hold 4-6 ounces (if you are going to add milk) or maybe 8 ounces if just tea since they do taper quite a bit from the base to the top. I purchased two and they are so beautiful, I'm not sure if I want to actually use them or just have them out for display.

I'm using a Mr Coffee iced tea maker, I think it makes 2 quarts at a time so I use one big teabag divided into thirds.

Chase - yes the answers below are correct. It actually will hold about 1.5 tablespoons of tea - but we recommend using less than one tablespoon so the tea has plenty of room to expand. In many cases you can use as little as one teaspoon and get even better flavor as the tea has plenty of room to bloom. Thanks, Don

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

The tea is loose. I'm still trying different water tea ratio's and right now 1/3 cup tea to 60 ounces of water in my coffee maker works well. There's a lot of tea in each package so it will make several pots using the amounts that I do.

Wendy I can't answer your question exactly as Ive never measured the amount in 8 or 5 oz cups. But I do get several 12 oz mugs of tea from it as well as several 16 oz glasses of iced tea so it holds a generous amount of liquid. More than one might expect as I was genuinely surprised yet pleased with the amount when I received it. The rounded shape is what allows for that I believe and it's such a nice looking tea pot.

First of all this is a 2 quart pitcher, not 64 ounces, or 1 gallon. I had a problem with this when I ordered it. I ended up getting two of these because I can put in the door of my refrigerator. A gallon wouldn't have fit anywhere in my frig. It has a mesh insert which screws into the lid, which is where you put the tea. I use the Twinings English Classic cold brew tea bags. You could also use loose leaf tea. it works very well, the only issue I have is cleaning it. You have to take the clear rubber rings(gaskets) out of the lid and the part that screws onto the pitcher itself. They tend to get moldy very easily. I use three bags, cold water, and let it sit for about an hour. It makes really good tea. First of all this is a 2 quart pitcher, not 64 ounces, or 1 gallon.

I have not made iced tea with it but I know it makes great tea and you should be able to cool it after it brews or even put it over ice....this is so much easier than a tea pot and the clean up is quick and easy..I love it....

The part that holds the tea is approximately 4 inches deep by 3 inches wide. It is quite large for a single cup of tea. The size 1 would probably be more appropriate for a single cup.
