Can you put boiling water for tea into this pitcher?

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.

I don't think you can. I used it to brew kombucha. If you would put it into boiling water it may crack. I'm sorry that I'm not sure

No problem but avoid putting the pitcher with boiling water in a chilly place. The max temperature difference is 120 c.

a) You may have to adjust the amount of tea in the top to make the tea to your liking. b) When you add water to the first line and pour it in the brewer, then add ice up to the first line, it won't overfill the pitcher when it's brewed.

This is a teapot for holding tea, not for boiling water. You'll still need a kettle for that.The handle doesn't get hot when using it for serving.

I didn't try but I think you couldn't. You can just pour in it boiled tea (as I use it and then pour tea into small cups for example when I meeting guests) or just put some tea leaves in it and pour boiling water.

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.

The answer to your question is no. It is not meant for use like a tea ketttle. You boil the water first then pour into teapot with tea bag and let it steep for a few minutes. I love this set, very classy.

Yes boil the water and put in. If you want to keep yur tea hot use a cast iron tea warmer with a tea light candle and is available for sales on Amazon also.

Yes, the pitcher has a plastic top with 1 1/8 inch edges that fit down inside the rim of the pitcher. One side of the edge that fits down inside has a square opening to allow pouring, and the other side has the same size opening, but has vertical plastic bars to hold the ice in the pitcher when you pour. If you are just storing the tea, you can turn the top 90 degrees so there is no opening at the spout. The top is made of a slightly soft plastic to make it easy to fit it in and remove it from the pitcher.

I don't see why not. I use it as a tea pitcher & I always pour the freshly brewed (and very hot) tea into it.

You should be able to steep tea in it. Just to be careful fill the glass with warm/hot water before filling with boiling water, because the reason glass shatters is because the temperature difference between the glass and the water is too great. Like, if the glass is very cold and the water is boiling hot it will "shock" the glass. So, you heat it up a little to avoid shocking it. Hope that helps :) it's a high quality glass.

Yes, you can but Depends on the temperature of your waterI always put hot water in the bottle, it can keep boiling hot for long time. little sip is fine.Lid is normal, but you can store some tea inside the lid. but it wont help make tea

You probably could, but I can't guarantee the fine mesh is so fine you won't get any sediment. From the tea bags I use in it there is always a bit of sediment at the bottom of the pitcher.

This requires a special fitting on the end of the faucet to connect to the pitcher. Water has to be under pressure for this system to work. So no unless you change your faucet, or can use another faucet for this.

I personally would not pour boiling water in this container. As I mentioned in my review from a few years ago, the one I purchased (as a replacement for one that I got in the 90's) broke the first time I poured very hot- about 200 degrees (but not boiling) into it. Manufacturer's changed the formula for making "tempered" glass and this new formula doesn't seem to be able to take the "thermal shock" that the old glass formula could take. (I made ice tea with almost boiling water in the old glass pitcher for over a decade until it broke when I dropped it on the floor). Several years ago Consumer Reports did an article about this topic, and their research indicated this was happening because of the change in the glass formula. If you research this topic online you will find information about this issue.

This is only for boiling water. At least that is what I use it for. I make the actual tea in a separate ceramic tea pot. Hope it helps.
