Customer Review: Great way to brew tea! Ours is over 10 years old!
We’ve had one Ice Tea Pot for over ten years. The pitcher still works, so we’re surprised to hear about the troubles people have had. We’ve used it nearly every day and the internal pipes are beginning to clog up with lime from the water! So instead of cleaning its insides, we are thinking to buy another 2-quart! Some helpful notes:
1. The cycle time on ours is 8 minutes.
2. If you want stronger tea, don’t add water to the pitcher, just poor in a second batch of water into the heating unit and continue to fill the pitcher! (Two batches of water is all two tea bags are good for!)
3. A 10:1 dilution of household bleach will clean the pitcher and the tea bag holder. This also keeps the tea tasting fresh. Just make enough solution to soak the pitcher in over night and the problem will be dissolved the next morning! The main causes of bad tea in restaurants seem to be containers with built up tea residue and over-brewing.
4. For strong tea, simply place two tea bags flat, side-by-side, over the hole in the holder. The tea should be spread out in the bag, preventing any water to escape without first passing through the tea.
5. Brewing loose tea works great and takes very little tea, if the tea is spread evenly across the entire bottom of a coffee filter. Again, if you want strong tea, just refill the heating unit with water and continue to brew! (Instead of diluting the tea in the pitcher with water.)
6. Our favorite teas are the Bigelow teas, both regular and green teas with the names Constant Comment, Plantation Mint and Earl Grey, in that order. We’ve tried many competing teas from other manufacturers and like these the best! ;^)
7. Even inexpensive Lipton tea will brew acceptably will in the Iced Tea Pot. However, to remove the residual bitterness, add about 1 to 1.5 teaspoons of lemon juice per pitcher.
8. Sweeten with a tablespoonful of local honey. Not only a good sweetner, but also will make hayfever and sinus problem lessen after a month or so of daily consumption. (Asia honey does no good unless you live in Asia!) ;^)
Customer Review: Great Product
This was to replace another tea maker that was getting impossible to clean. I have had several of these and other than not being dishwasher safe they are great. After a while they do get quite stained but the product works great. Probably we make 1 or 2 pitchers every day of the year and the product has not failed.
