Does this work as an iced tea as well?

Yes; but, you have to make sure you have a very fine mesh strainer or in fuser to keep the tea leaves/powder out of the brewed liquid.

I think so. Usually I will do that if I forget my cup somewhere and the tea gets cold. I just add ice and keep sipping.

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.

No. You have to boil the water and then steep the tea. Well worth it though!

Absolutely! I have also made sun tea in a personal bottle, mixed it with watered down apple juice or lemonade to change it up. It is an excellent tea.

Yes it does as long as the liquid isn't ice cold. A great way to use it to sweeten beverages is by making a simple syrup.

Yes although when I bought mine I was encouraged to use it for cold brew. I told the vendor I didn't have a lot of time to brew water & make tea so the solution was to fill pitcher with cool or room temp water, fill tea basket and let sit overnight in fridge. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT. The handle also allows you to hang horizontal on a shelf and it is leakproof. I'm not sure if the other reviewers have a defective product or are not using product correctly. It's great.

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.

Not that I have found, and I have been using Tazo Wild Sweet orange Tea in it with boiling water. I think this is simply an amazing product, an am ordering another so that I can have two kinds of iced tea ready in the refrigerator at all times - sweet and unsweetened as is appropriate in the south :)

I don't think it brews iced coffee as far as I know. But it does make great lattes!

I've never tried it. I have boiled water with tea bags and poured it into the container about a 1/2 hour of cooling to make iced tea, and I use it for fruit juices and Kool-Aid, but that's it.

I don't see why not. Just like regular iced tea, you may want to brew it stronger to make up for the ice melting.

Yes, according to Hamilton Beach, you can use loose leaf tea or tea bags to make Iced Tea.

It is not tea... I have only used it for smoothies and milkshakes, in which it works great for both. I suppose you could brew some black tea and mix some of this in it.The ingredients list on the back of my package: Taro Flavor Powder, Granulated sugar, Glucose, Non-dairy creamer. It is pretty sweet, I didn't need to add any sugar (wish I could take some out ;p).

Yes I use it to drink my tea all the time! But you have to be careful or you'll burn your lips.

yes, very simular however, has a little added orange & clove which makes it even better, i think. i do not only use this in a hot cup of tea but i add 3 bags of it to a gallon of iced tea also and people rave about my iced tea; even my cats love it.
