Can I put hot spiced tea in this to keep the tea hot?

I agree with the other responses. You need to keep one pot for coffee, and one forhot water/tea/cider - the coffee smell permiates the inside of the pot. Try it for tea, but make sure the pot smells clean first.

This is made for coffee, I wouldn't use it for anything else because it could develop a bad taste of the coffee.

Yes, you can, but to be honest, if you want to use it for coffee again, I would use a completely separate pot for the tea. I have 2 - one for coffee, and one for tea.

I don't see why not. I have been at parties where people use it for spiced apple cider to keep it hot.

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.

I wouldn't recommend ground spices in this tea strainer. I'm thinking 'paper strainers' might be the way to go for ground spices.

We honestly only use it as a decoration. I wouldn't attempt to heat it on a stove, I think the ceramic is too thin. However, pouring hot water into the teapot should be fine!

Yes I use it a lot for my hot tea and if u are using it for a longer brewing time I just set the pot on the hot plate part of it

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

I suppose you could, my husband just puts it in a tea ball and let's it sit in hot (I mean really Hot) water till he likes the color then he drinks it.

Hi Connie: I, personally, would not boil any tea in a metal container. Tea is very acidic and would corrode metal. Also it would not taste very good. Very hot water from your Ovente poured over tea in a nice china pot works the best.

Not sure, never tried hot water. Maybe you could try warm water and let it sit at room temp until tea has flavored the water to your liking. Or sun tea brewed in the sun.

If you are asking if you can put it in the knob area No and I would not leave a tea bag just sitting on it longer than using it to make my second cup.

When I use a tea cozy, it does get hot. My biggest problem is that the pot drips when pouring.

I would be hesitant to serve anything hot in it, which you probably wouldn't do anyway. Tin teapot and cups would become hot also. But something cold or warm should be okay.

I haven't put really hot liquid in it. I usually want to drink it relatively soon. BTW, you shouldn't use very hot water to brew tea as the heat can kill off the nutrients in tea.

no - you would destroy the pot - try putting it on a ceramic tile - that will help keep the tea warm

We use it with a tea cozy. The teapot is quite small so after a cup or two we refill it. Tea stays fairly warm that way.

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.

I would not suggest it. This is just to keep it from direct heat on your furniture. The teapot holds heat pretty well.
