We have had one for several years. It works very well. The one we have came with an insulated carafe that you can use to make coffee too.

I bought one, but after trying and failing to duplicate the taste of southern style sweet tea, I gave it away. On a side note, some sweetened teas have almost as much or the same amount of sugar as soda. Bad for your teeth...but taste so good!

Had one years ago, but it finally died. Now I just hang 2 family size bags of Luzianne tea bags in a pitcher full of cold tap water and leave it on the counter for a couple of hours. It's like SunTea without the sun. I have 2 pitchers though ,so ones always cold in the refrigerator. It's all my husband will drink.
Your right yellowhorsesinc, it does take up a lot of counter space.

Very good point...most people sweeten tea so much that it has as much or more sugar than soda, is still caffinated, and stains teeth badly. The only real plus is that it has less acid.

Glad the machine works. My ma is big on tea so I'll tell her.

I LOVE my Mr Ice Tea!

PS..., I use 1 cup sugar to 1 pitcher of tea for my sweet tea.

I use a green and white tea blend it does not stain so badly and I use about 1/4 c of raw sugar per 3 quarts of tea. It is cool and refreshing.

For ice tea, I use the tea bags in a picture for about an hour. I like my tea with just lemon, but my husband like his with suger. I make simple syrup for him. Jelly jar about half full of sugar. Fill with water, heat in microwave until very hot and almost all or all of the sugar can not be seen. Us this to sweeten the tea to your taste. In one way sweet tea is better for you, than soda. It is not made with frutose made from corn.

Wish you could buy it up here, while working in Texas I got hooked on the unsweetened ice tea. I know I could make it myself, but I never seem to make the time!

economy bites..

dow dropped 11,000 points +

lol

jade65 & Hannah04 · 07-11-2008, 11:17 PM

I use a regular coffee pot. Place 10 dollar store tagless tea bags in the basket (no filter) use 10 cups of water and when it is done add 1 3/4 cups sugar to hot tea, stir until dissolved, for sweet tea. Pour into a gallon milk jug and add cold water to fill. Makes one full gallon. The best southern sweet tea ever!

Pshaw don't give it another thought.

You know what's funny is that you call tea iced tea. I'm not from the South but live their now and people give you funny looks if you call tea iced tea. They call it sweet or unsweet tea and i've yet to see it served hot so it's usually actually iced tea. Go figure. I just haven't heard anyone refer to iced tea for awhile.

ToveroMom · 07-23-2008, 11:03 PM

Just bought one and it is great-thanks for the recommend.
I can't have soda since the surgery so it is a lifesaver for me!

You're welcome, glad to be of help! I used to drink 8 cans of soda a day and now I just have tea.

mymaxx · 07-26-2008, 02:01 PM

I used to have one years ago. Loved it except I went through a lot of ice. It took one bag of ice per pitcher. Now I have two coffee machines. one for tea and one for coffee. three family size tea bags will make a gallon of tea.
