can you use this set for hot tea?

It would probably get too hot to safely handle- it is really for water or juice

I think it probably would. The infuser basket is quite narrow, so larger tea bags would probably have to be worked with a bit to get them down in the basket. I have never used the cup with any hot liquids either, but I believe the plastic is sturdy enough to hold up to hot water/tea infusing.

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 bought these as gifts, but I don't see any reason why not to be able to use them for hot liquids. I can tomatoes and jams in boiling water - why not tea?

I do use these with hot beverages - actually tea and I don't find it a problem as it doesn't get any hotter than the beverage and if you are cautious when you initially use them until you become used to the difference and use common sense, you shouldn't have a problem.

You can use it for any hot (or cold) liquid, tea works just fine. With tea I do find that I usually need to let the tea cool down a bit with the lid off before I can drink it but once it's to the right temperature it will keep the temperature hot for a decent amount of time with the lid back on.

I have used it for either Hot Tea or Coffee, unfortunately someone dropped mine and it broke :( I really enjoyed it while I had it, but it's kind of like an adult sippy-cup.

The thermos provided with this set is suitable for hot or cold beverages. I would use it for soup. Keep in mind the mouth isn't as large as the mouth of a food thermos. Also, this one is fairly tall, so be sure you have a proper cleaning brush for the inside.

I suppose you could, but I use the matching travel cup for coffee. I have never put anything hot in this. One reason to not use this for hot beverages is the size of the drink spout. It's pretty good size and I could see getting a big slug of a hot beverage and really burning yourself. I can say this works really well for my cold beverages so I would think would be fine for keeping hot beverages hot.

I don't know for sure but my feeling is I would not because it is so delicate. Normallyif you heat it with hot water from faucet before you put the tea in it will stay hot.

Yes, it can make hot water for tea. You can program it to dispense the exact amount of water to fill your cup as well.

Absolutely. You could put loose tea or another hot beverage in there. It's a removable infuser, although having quickly tried it, the lid doesn't snap in tightly without the infuser there. It sits loosely on top, but that shouldn't be a problem.

Hi, Kent. No, you should not heat this pot. The inside is lined with enamel, and that high heat would crack the enamel coating. The most heat this teapot could withstand is a candle beneath to keep your tea warm.

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.

I don't think you can use it for hot beverages. I have only used it for cold.

No, I've never used them in a tea pot - but I don't see why it wouldn't work - if it make only 2-4 cups - I think this was meant for only one cup though.

Absolutely, I use them for tea, coffee, and coco. The handle stays cool and the drink stays hot.
