Can you use these in hot tea? How many cups (8 oz) of hot tea could you flavor from a dram?

I imagine you can use it and it probably won't give much flavor. In any events, I don't reckoen it's dangerous, so try it out. I know you can use it in pancakes and such ;)

Don't see why you couldn't, I'm merely saying that they were originally designed for candy mixes. There are a bunch of stevia flavoring extracts you can buy that will provide 80-120 uses. These small drams will probably proved 25-35 uses.

They would probably be too hot, but maybe you could find or make a sleeve for them. Not sure how the copper would alter the taste of tea.

Yes! I have used these for cold as well as hot coffee and hot tea. Never any problem!

I use a pint of water per package. I am sure it is cheaper to buy bulk but I find the packets convenient.But hey, I am one of those who use tea bags rather than loose tea (smile).

I have used these lovely cups for several tea parties using boiling water. Since my china cups are delicate I wouldn't recommend putting them in the microwave. My guests love these cups and my granddaughters too!

Sorry to take so long to respond. I specifically purchased these to use with my Keurig Brewer. (Special Edition B60 purchased in 2009). It will hold the 9.25 oz. large mug with plenty of room to add creamer or syrup. If I really want to keep the liquid hot, I "brew" just a cup of hot water, let it sit a 30 sec. and then dump out the water and immediately brew my coffee or tea. I also use it for ice coffee or tea. Just fill the mug with ice to the top and use the small cup, 5.25 oz and it makes a great mug of iced liquid. I don't think you can go wrong with these. I even use the 16 oz tumblers for ice tea/coffee too. Hope this helps. Sorry to take so long to respond. I specifically purchased these to use with my Keurig Brewer.

Yes. I use them in the microwave all the time. When you heat water for tea, the outside of the glass barely gets warm.

Yes you can use them for hot liquids, however, I would avoid extreme temperature changes because they are glass and they will break.

Yes I use these for coffee and hot tea daily. Wonderful mugs! I am glad I bought them.

Not positive but may be OK if the mugs are warmed in hot water prior to filling with hot tea.

It depends how strong you like your tea. I would say about 1 teaspoon per 8 ounces of water (3 teaspoons for 24 oz), but you would probably have to try this out and go from there.

i never tried to use them in iced coffee. if the coffee is just warm i assume that they would work ok. i don't know about putting them into hot liquid!

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.

It really depends on how much flavor you want. I use two packets for 12 oz of water.

Yes, we make tea in both the 16 oz. and 32 oz. version of these depending on how much we are brewing.

While I have not made tea in this - we do regularly "perk" hot water in it for church functions. Individuals can then choose a tea to their liking, hot cocoa, etc. to make in a single serving cup/mug. It takes about one minute per 8oz to heat, so if you fill it half way approx 30 minutes & full 1 hour.

Call the company first. I use a water urn and dry chocolate mix for hot chocolate. If you ever use the coffee urn for coffee it will never be good for water for tea or hot chocolate. You can never get the coffee taste out of urn.
