Can you make iced tea in it?

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

Hamilton Beach also suggests, "There is a separate tea basket available for purchase, but it is the same as the coffee basket, just a different color so that you can use both separately and not have tea that tastes like coffee or coffee that tastes like tea. If you intend to use the 40913 to make both iced tea and iced coffee, we do recommend getting the separate basket for this reason."

I'm pretty sure you can. I gave it as a gift and the recipient has told me it's been used to make tea several times.

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.

I use mine to make iced tea but I think it will make about 5 cups of tea if it's filled all the way up.

Yes I brew without ice. I do put a little bit of water in the pitcher though. I believe it was recommended in the instructions to do that. Overall this Iced tea maker is awesome. You can use any pitcher that fits under it too.

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 :)

yes, but, I would not recommend this product anymore. I have gone thru two cups now. both shattered, one by bumping lightly, the replacement shattered when i put ice in my tea one day. very brittle material and thin. sorry

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.

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

Yes, but don't put cold things in it when it is very hot. That could crack it. Just put your cold liquids in it when the tea pot is at room temperature. I hope this helps.

You sure can. It makes a delicious cup of tea.Pauline MendozaCustomer Love SpecialistEatGreenTea.com

Sure, but if you just stuffed a tea bag in there it would take longer to brew. A better way might be to cut the bag open and pour the loose tea into the infuser.

Yes you can, but you have to put the tea on the bottom, not in the basket. I use it that way.

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

I haven't. I would imagine that you could though. I have filled it with boiled water and it holds up fine. Typically when I'm using it though it had been with iced tea.

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.

Yes just filled a glass with ice and brew the tea in your glass or brew the tea in a cup then pour the hot tea over a glass full of ice either way it works
