How many tea bags should I use when using the jug to make great tasting tea?

I use 10. Fill pitcher with cold water to about halfway up the neck (8-9 cups of water). Add tea bags. Put it in the fridge for a few hours or overnight and that's it.

for strong sweet tea that will be poured over ice in a glass, I use 9 Darjeeling or 10 Orange Pekoe. For non-sweet tea, I use 7 or 9 respectively. I just remember the hotter the weather the faster the ice will melt and I make the tea stronger. This ratio is for hot weather or serious tea lovers. FYI, Peg Ryan

Hi Laura......i use 4 to 6 of these two bags to make a single gallon of tea. I use an electric tea maker, so it brews over a pitcher of ice already. So, I don't add any water after it brews over the initial pitcher of ice......

I love this brand and flavor and since it isn't sold in stores anymore I'm thrilled to find it through Amazon. I divide the teabag in half. That is plenty for a half gallon pitcher of tea. Fill the pitcher with water, add the 1/2 tea bag and set it out in the sun to brew. It just depends on the warmth of the day and how strong you like it. Delicious.

Great question! I was able to get about 15 bags into one compartment. But, with Yogi tea, I think you can probably get the 20 bags into one compartment - Yogi tea has better packaging than some of the other tea producers who use bigger tea bag wrappers.

22. Each tea bag makes a quart. It is a very good tasting tea if like tea to taste like tea, and not watered down. I love the bold flavor.

I say just buy the set a second time. At least then you have an extra teapot and therefore extra tea for those extra cups. The tea set is enough to fill each cup once, or one cup four times. Instead of making a pot of tea twice for that, just make two at once.

Yes, you can use any tea bags you like. Just use the directions from the tea included to get an idea of how many to use/how to brew. I use Celestial Seasonings tea bags.

2 to 3 cups if using a larger japanese tea cup... If using a 60 ml cup maybe four, especially if you are doing a gung fu type serving- several smaller servings in a row...

One bag= 1 month supply. 3 tsp of tea leaves brews 3 cups of tea, per day. That's what's recommended.

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 use a MR Coffee Tea maker. One bag per picture. Turns out perfect every time. Makes 2quarts.

KKamp recommends 1 SCOBY and 1 cup starter liquid per gallon of sweet tea used. Each culture and cup of starter liquid we sell is guaranteed to produce that one gallon successfully, but using one culture for 5 gallons would likely lead to a weak brew and potentially mold. Hope that helps! :)

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.

I guess one would be OK. I don't like and I don't use any bagged tea.... it tastes differently...

I use 4 family size Luzianne tea bags. It makes it perfect for my family's taste.

Try buying the Lipton yellow label loose leaf tea from amazon. I got a pound for ~$10 and it works great (http://smile.amazon.com/dp/4639725043/) and should make many gallons of tea. The taste is similar to Lipton bags but smoother (and better) in my opinion. I've been using 2 1/2 tablespoons of tea per pitcher and brewing for 4-5 minutes.

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.
