How much iced tea can you brew at one time?

Well the wonderful thing about this maker is that you can use most pitchers, which means you can make a normal gallon size pitcher of tea or you can make a 1 qt pitcher of tea. You fill the reservoir with water, then you adjust the strength level to your needs. The way I use it is I will add the tea bags to the basket, then fill the pitcher in question, I will fill the reservoir from that, then add the amount of sugar to the pitcher and push the button, when finished I just stir and serve. Perfect everytime. I LOVE it!!!! It beats Mr. Coffee hands down!

I fill the pitcher up as full as I can and fill the tea maker full of water and leave the rest in the pitcher. I then add three family tea bags to the tea maker and brew it makes about a gallon of tea.

It comes with a 2.5 quart glass pitcher. To brew more than that, you'd have to have a separate container and refill the reservoir. Hope that helps!

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.

I'd say about a tea spoon per cups, but don't forget! You don't need to throw your tea after every cups, a spoon could easily be used for 2/3 or 4 cups depending on how long your infuse it... it's all matter of taste.

Hi, Approximately 10 tablespoons of loose leaf tea are a good measure for brewing a gallon of tea. Currently, this is the only size tea infuser we offer. Since our infuser holds about 1 1/2 tablespoons, depending on which tea variety you use, it would take you about 6-7 filling/brewing times with our infuser to make a gallon. Hope this is helpful, especially for making iced tea as summer approaches! Warmly, Bridgett from Flourish & Thrive

Yes! We make iced tea with this all the time. We use about 2 tbsp for half-gallon and steep for about 5 minutes, it's great!

My wife and I have various sized tea bags. We tend to do a trial and error depending on the tea you use. For normal, one cup, lipton sized bags; we use about 6 for mild tea, and 8-10 when we want it stronger. We also have some chinese loose tea that we also use. Most will depend on how strong you want, plus a trial and error.

I love this machine!! It will make approximately 3 drinks per pitcher (depending on your glass!) I was using Red Solo Cups. If you only want one just put ice and ingredients for just one. Enjoy!!

The pot size is 2 quarts, so it really depends on the size of your cups. It can make 4 (8 ounces) cups of tea,

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.

I have made tea with my 16oz pot, by simply making the tea stronger and adding to ice. It takes a little bit of experimenting to get the strength/ice mixture perfect, but Im a serious tea snob.I have also steeped the strong tea, released it into a cup after steeping, allowed to cool then poured over ice and water added to taste SO to answer your question, yes I suppose you could, BUT unless you are making more than a pitcher of ice tea, I would consider buying the 16oz. Either way, if you love tea and love simplicity....buy one of these!

Well, not really. The tea brews down hot over the ice which dilutes and cools to make the perfect strength iced tea. I use a whole tray of cubes plus a couple more, 10 tea bags, and water to the line they put on the inside of the brewer. Results are great, cooled tea. Doesn't come out icy cold - but then you can pour it over ice, or refrigerate until cold. Without ice in the pitcher - you may as well just use a tea kettle and tea pot method.

I make this into iced tea often. It is a great iced tea, in fact. My favorite is just using a teaspoon and a half to make a mug of tea, and then pouring that mug over ice in a glass. I also make iced tea in my keurig machine. Two teaspoons into the loose filter, select the smallest cup size, brew, pour over ice, select the next size up, brew, pour over ice. I have made a half gallon out of two teaspoons that way.

truly depends on how strong you like your tea...I use about 1 Tablespoon for an entire pot of tea (no idea how many ounces that is) but I also allow 3-5minutes for steeping for STRONG tea. I have found that this tea has a very full flavor. Sorry I can't be more precise.

I've loaded just enough for 4 cups. I'm assuming you could use just enough for one cup.

If you double-brew it (with twice the amount of tea), then you can just put ice in it when it's done steeping to make iced tea.

Depending on the brew strength of the coffee and tea, this tea will have about half the amount of caffeine as an 8 oz. cup of coffee. It all varies with steep time, how lightly coffee is roasted, etc.

Yes, you can make 1,2,3, or 4 drinks. You do not need to make a whole pitcher.
