I use 1 tbs in an ice tea maker. But I think it would be the same in a gallon. It really depends on the strength of you taste you like. It should work fine as sun tea also. But again it might be a strength thing. 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.

I would say it took a 1/2 c. to make a gallon. I used a coffee filter stapled shut to make the tea so that we wouldn't have tea bits in the container. Paradise tea does come in the large teabags (I initially bought the loose tea by mistake) and it takes just one large bag for a gallon. And yes, put your container in the sun or just right into the refrigerator. No other brewing necessary.

I'm not one for strong tea, but I use a small tea ball steeper in my 3 quart tea maker.

Never tried it in the sun. I don't know you couldn't. We make our tea in Ice Tea Pot. Great results. My daughter who has used this tea for years, said she just dumps some into the basket. She is guessing it's about 3 tablespoons not flat not heaping.

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!

With the large sized tea bag, I use an automatic iced tea maker which makes 3 quarts of iced tea. I put 3 large tea bags in the steeping compartment. I like a weaker tea. I put ice in the pitcher but no additional water. I do not boil water and then steep the tea. If I did, I would not add water, only ice. I control the strength by how much tea I use. If I use regular sized tea bags in my automatic iced tea maker, I use 3 regular sized tea bags per quart. Again, adjusting the strength to your liking. The ice dilutes the tea enough to not have to add water to the brewed tea.

I thought most iced tea is made with Black Tea. At least mine is and it is delicious.

Yes, can make sun tea or use Lipton's cold brew...would not put extremely hot liquid in it

It makes about two standard 6 oz cups of tea and a little bit more. I use a small mug 8 oz? and get about one and a half mugs out of it. Make sure you hold the lid when pouring your tea as it does not have a catch on it.

the largest is app. 11 1/2 oz, the next size is about 7 oz. the third is about 5 oz., then about 3 oz, the last is indicated ice tea and is the smallest of the 5 sizes.

It depends how strong you like your tea. I would say about 1 teaspoon per 8 ounces of water (3 teaspoons for 24 oz), but you would probably have to try this out and go from there.

3.5 ounces--enough for about 10 to 12 cups of tea. BTW, this brand is the best matcha I have ever found. I'm not sure what grade is being offered, here. But on the Ryu Mei website, you can order Grade 2 directly from them, which I recommend.

I like to make strong tea for ice tea because the ice will dilute it; so I would use at least 2 tea bags.

I usually make it like I make "Sun Tea"......Put them in cold water in the 2 quart container. Let it sit in a warm place all day and then just keep it in the fridge. If I make it hot I make it in a drip coffee maker, so not sure how that affects it.

I bring about 3 quarts of water to boil, add the tea bag, turn the burner off and cover the pot. I let it steep for about 45 minutes. I then dilute the tea with cold water - adding about 9 quarts of water. These large tea bags make up to 3 gallons of tea. You can make less by letting the tea steep for a shorter time - maybe 10 minutes -- then add water to dilute to strength that you want.

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 think it depends on the size of the tea leaf or flower bud/tea mixture you are using. But for example to use apple pie chi rooiboos tea I can fit 6 tablespoons of dry tea into the infuser. That does not leave enough room for expansion when hot water is poured over the tea. So I would say you could reasonably expect to fit 3 tablespoons (9 teaspoons) of a fine to medium sized tea with room for expansion. you could do a very strong cup of tea, a very large cup or a pot.

I don't see why not. Just like regular iced tea, you may want to brew it stronger to make up for the ice melting.

Hi Eileen, You can brew your tea in this pot and pour it into your iced tea pitcher for iced tea. Hope that helps! Teavana 32 oz Perfectea Maker

I make my tea by the cup and use 2 tablespoons and steep it in the little mesh bags I buy in the Oriental food section of the grocery store. Hope that helps you.
