Would this product be suitable to make pitchers of iced tea?

Yes. But maybe a little too big for a pitcher. Better for a larger serving container of 5-9 gallons.

Yep, it should. I purchased the two 2 quart pitcher set along with this so I could make tea using loose tea. Works like a charm...

If you wanted to I guess you can, but I use it for making tea and it works perfectly for that!

Absolutely. I fill it with ice and then pour (double strength) hot coffee straight out of a french press right over the ice (which melting, and adding a bit more water as needed, brings the coffee to regular strength). The pitcher handles this with complete aplomb. Not even a sound of cracking or popping (aside from crackling of the ice). Also great for iced coffee in that it will not stain, and the seal prevents transfer of flavors or odors in the fridge.

It doesn't have to be glass to make sun tea. Just clear. So yes, it would work,

No, the infuser that holds the tea does all the work, it's really just for looks, I would never make iced tea with these because the whole point is for it to look nice in a tea cup for your guests as it steeps in the hot water. Make sure you buy tea bag holders as you can use the same infuser to make a second or third cup of tea.

Yes, I use mine to brew tea and have added boiling hot water from my kettle. The pitcher has been room temp when I've done this, never cold from the fridge.

I used a large tea infuser for pitchers of tea....I am able to get 3 large pitchers out of 1 bag - I like mine quite strong - then add extra ice, and water to serve. If you preferred less strong tea you probably to make 4 pitchers per bag.

Yes although when I bought mine I was encouraged to use it for cold brew. I told the vendor I didn't have a lot of time to brew water & make tea so the solution was to fill pitcher with cool or room temp water, fill tea basket and let sit overnight in fridge. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT. The handle also allows you to hang horizontal on a shelf and it is leakproof. I'm not sure if the other reviewers have a defective product or are not using product correctly. It's great.

I haven't tried that , I just use it for powdered drinks. I would let coffee cool down first before pouring into pitcher .

Yes, it will. Just check to make sure your plastic pitcher has the screw on threads. Good luck! We love out tea infused.

That is a great idea. It is a vacuum container and will work for anything that requires a vacuum for storage....however if the tea is high moisture it may mold.

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

I use 6 slightly rounded teaspoons for 1/2 gallon of iced tea. I brew my tea in a dedicated for tea coffee pot and let it cool on the counter top in a carafe. I've never made sun tea with this tea before. I would imagine you could put the tea in packets and make it with the sun.

Yes. I'm making tea now in the pitcher. It works out well. I don't use the filter though. I put a little Stevia in with what teas I like at the timeand in a few hours the "sun" tea is ready but I don't the pitcher out in the sun -- just sitting it in the kitchen window with some morning sun works fine forme. Hope I answered your question.

Yes. That's what we use the for. We just put tea bags and cool water, in the Pitcher and place it in frig.

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.
