What a great question! I meant to use mine for iced tea last weekend for one of my "Playshops," but the day was such I switched to hot tea. I measured the top opening and it is 2 inches. The ice cubes from my refrigerator ice maker would have no problem fitting, but I don't know what you use. I would guess you will not have an issue. Good luck!

The hole is about 1 3/4"s across. I took a handful from my refrig ice maker and dropped them in, then inserting the draw and it worked perfectly

Yes it is a good size, but if it was 2 ozs bigger would be great. I wanted something that matched my crystal and some Waterford serving pieces. This is a perfect match and I keep a pitcher of water on the table. I use these mostly for when I am setting a table versus running in for a drink of water.

The glass measures ~2.5" at it's mouth. However, narrows to 2" at the neck. I don't believe it will fit a 2.5" ice ball.

You are better off with a regular ice cube tray. This is a great product, but not for that use. The ice cube tray functionality of it is really only a sideline extra to what it really is and can do.

Yes! We make iced tea with this all the time. We use about 2 tbsp for half-gallon and steep for about 5 minutes, it's great!

Edgar, I'm so sorry it took me so long to read this question. Each cube was about half size of normal square ice cube. I used it for wine cubes, which does not work at all by the way... very messy lol! They would be perfect for regular ice.

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.

I guess I'm not sure since I have never made them. The size would be bite siz. It is a harder plastic not rubber typ. The ice cubes pop out fairly easy if you don't fill all the way to the top. Only problem I have had is the ends broke when trying to get cubes out initially.

Definitely! I use it for iced tea and iced coffee! Use a cup full of ice and the 8 oz setting. Perfect!

It does work for hot tea, because you add ice to the carafe to make it ice tea. But the carafe only fills up about 1/3, which probably amounts to a good sized pot of hot tea, but it won't make a truly giant pot of tea. My husband prefers using the coffee maker for tea as it has a burner to keep the tea warm.

Yes, this mold could be used to make ice for a large punch bowl. The end product can be held with two hands. Hopefully that gives you some idea how big it is (approx. 4"Lx2"W)

I used the cups and lids for frozen smoothies which I used regular straws.. not sure how much bigger a bubble tea straw is from the regular I used... bout the size of a McDonald's straw

The top part opens up - the limitation will be size of the hole where you add water. It should accomodate a normal size ice cube from an automatic ice maker from most freezers. But bigger than that may not fit through hole.

Yes wide enough for ice cubes, even lemons or any thing that you would need to put in it. Very easy to clean out.

The opening is roughly 2" wide. ice will fit but probably with the help of a small scoop or cup.

It is a screw top and the mouth is about 1-1/4 inch in diameter so it will fit fruit and most sizes of ice. I have four of these in different sizes. I've dropped one of them twice on my stone floor in the kitchen and it didn't break. The plastic piece that sticks out from the side is a loop which makes it easy to carry with one finger. I can tote all four of my bottles from the fridge to my backpack with one hand. It's a solid, sturdy product. I highly recommend.

Yes, however, I have this in my house in Ecuador and the ice cubes are very small, I don't know how this would work on large cubes.
