Can I make hot tea in this jar too?

Absolutely! I make sun tea every dingle day that I am home. When I make hot tea I usually put it in the microwave. My in-law makes hit tea in it all the time.

No you cannot. It is a teapot that you pour hot water into and brew the tea.

Why would you want to make hot tea in this? I would say it will withstand it but I wouldn't do it.

This plastic is very rigid and I wouldn't put a "hot" liquid in it. I make sure there is room temperature fluid in when I add brewed tea to made flavored tea.

No, you cannot put boiling water for tea directly into this pitcher. I gave this for a gift, and at first she wasn't going to tell me that she did just that, and it cracked. She said that she should have tempered it first by filling it warm water and letting the glass get warm 1st (let me also add... put it on something besides a cold countertop also.) Once the glass has gotten warm over a few minutes, then I "think" it would be fine for the hot tea. I still wouldn't put boiling tea right off of the stove. I would let it cool just a bit. You might had rather buy a pitcher that is made of tempered glass, if you don't want to go through the ritual and waiting. It's a great size, though, for a crowd. I was really sorry to hear that hers broke. She was so happy to receive it as a gift.

No, This is a thin glass and I am sure boiling water would crack it immediately. I can't tell you for sure because I never tried it and I don't think I will. You can brew iced tea by placing the tea bags in the container and add cold water. Let it sit on your counter top for a few hours. It will be fine tea.

I imagine that the glass can handle the heat. However, if you plan to put the lid on after pouring the hot tea into the jar, I would question whether the paint on the lid will hold up to the heat and moisture. I have had my Anchor Hocking jars for over 4 years now and have found that the paint is chipping off on the insides of the lids of 3 of the 4 jars that I purchased and use on a regular basis. I use my jars as canisters that hold dry flour, and sugars. I hope that helps.=)

No, I would not suggest using this jug for steeping hot tea. If you are looking specifically for a glass jug to use for steeping tea, then I would suggest you search for glass jugs that are made out of "tempered glass" or "borosilicate". [Note that it is not clear if borosilicate is a precursor cancer-causing (free-radical) agent. Opinions about this are mixed. Also, since borosilicate is more expensive to make than tempered glass, it tends to be thinner and hence more prone to breaks/cracks when it is bumped into things.] For health reasons (and especially since you will be looking to use this with hot liquids), I would also suggest that you look for BPA-free jars as well. This is item is more of a cold-serving beverage--it is not really designed for steeping hot beverages or boiling water. Eventually it would either crack or shatter. For this type of item, you may want to go to a local store that sells commercial kitchen/cooking supplies--such as a Smart & Final-type store. Or, this item from amazon may work as well: http://www.amazon.com/Takeya-64-Ounce-Silicone-Handle-Avocado/dp/B003DTLNI8/ref=sr_1_6?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1405107439&sr=1-6&keywords=hot+tea+pitcher I hope this helps--happy hunting.

That depends on the kind of tea you are using and the potency you are looking for. I've used this to make a 1.5 liter size pitcher of sun tea and I've also used it to make a 18 ounce size of hot tea. You will have to experiment a bit to find your flavor level. Since it is big, you have more room to "play". Sorry I couldn't give you a more direct answer, hope this helps

No. This is a cast iron tea pot which is not designed for cooking. To make tea, water must be boiled separately and add to the tea pot.

I don't see why you couldn't but are you aware that a lot of teas should never be put into boiling water? A lot of teas actually are recommended to be done at lower temperatures. I'm not trying to solicit but I am part of a company that does sell loose leaf tea and there is a tea app if you have an apple or android cell phone that you can download for free. Go to your app store and look up Tealightful It has a lot of great information about all types of tea.

This is a double walled teapot for brewing the tea in. Although I have kept the tea warm on my woodstove it would be best to heat the water in a separate container.

That's what I used it for. Put in a couple of drops on the tea leaves before adding the hot water.

I would think you can. Just put the tea in the basket where the Coffee would go. Never tried it though.

I would not,,the glass is very thin. I would use a tea kettle and pour the hot water from it. Or some times I use my kurig for hot water.

Yes. I use a quart size tea bag, pour in hot water, let tea steep, then put it in the fridge.

Absolutely. You could put loose tea or another hot beverage in there. It's a removable infuser, although having quickly tried it, the lid doesn't snap in tightly without the infuser there. It sits loosely on top, but that shouldn't be a problem.
