Would it work well to brew sun tea?

Well....it is clear plastic so I imagine it would make tea. However, I have no hard facts to back it up. It's so elegant it's worth having regardless.

I have this. It's for keeping ice from melting. I'd say no for brewing. It's just not that type of container. It's great for keeping ice as it has a liner that fits into the outer shell, container shown. Good wishes!

I never try it but I don't think it is built for tea, also it will be too much work to make a cup of tea.

Yes, you may use this machine to make tea, however, without the coffee masking the taste of the water, the hot water that comes out always tasted like plastic to me, even after repeated cleaning and flushing of the machine. There are just too many platic parts that end up giving a plastic "flavor" the extremely hot water as it passes through. I returned the machine for that reason.

Yes, definitely. I used it for tea as well just the way it is. If I need more than just one cup of tea, I would measure the water, and placed the tea bags in the infuser and make three, or four cups of tea at once. Good luck.

If it is sun tea outside I leave it all day. But it brews sooner than that. If I am using it inside and using boiling water it takes as long as a normal pot of tea. But then I let it sit until it cools a little and chill it in the refrigerator. I hope this helps, I've never timed it.

I mostly made sun tea, but I've washed it in very hot water in the dishwasher and had no problem

I haven't tried it myself, but it is doubtful that it would provide good results. Most teas call for just under boiling water and steeped at three minutes, give or take. I don't think the Keurig get's quite that hot, but more importantly, it won't steep the tea. It'll just drip water through the tea.You might use the Keurig to heat water, and then steep the tea in the hot water it makes. Might not be quite hot enough, but the results will likely be better than 'brewing' it in that little k-cup strainer thing.

Yes, you can, but tea should steep. Don't know how strong tou like it. Coffee is great!

You still need compost to brew the tea but it will add to the healthy biology of the tea. A little goes a long way!

I don't think so. It is a nice, smooth medium tea. I usually have a 10 oz. Mug and let it brew for 4 minutes.

I wouldn't try it. If you just boil water and slowly poor over loose tea you tea pot will work great.

I don't know, but it's worth a try. My parents use one just like this to make apple cider. They put the mulling spices at the top and put apple cider in it instead of water, and it works well. I would guess it would work with tea.

I suppose that you could. However, the ice melts as the tea is brewed which makes it the correct strength for drinking. If you were going to make tea without much ice, you might want to reduce the amount of tea you use.

No you cannot. It is a teapot that you pour hot water into and brew the tea.

I haven't put really hot liquid in it. I usually want to drink it relatively soon. BTW, you shouldn't use very hot water to brew tea as the heat can kill off the nutrients in tea.

I wouldn't even if it's ok. But you can prepare your tea the same I prepare coffee. Put the loose tea leaves first. Then pour the boiling water on top. Cover with the plunger/filter at the level of the water. Wait until the desired strength and then push the plunger/filter all the down. Wait a little bit and then pour the tea in your cup. Enjoy.

The short answer is YES ! It makes great tea either from a bag or loose leaf, or both. we have one that we use only for tea. Have used these for tea for 10 years. works great.
