will one bag make a gallon of iced tea or do you need to use two?

The instructions call for one bag to 4 cups of water, but it just depends on how strong you want your tea.

I use two of them to make 32 oz, sweeten it while it is hot, then dilute it with another 32oz of ice. But, I enjoy my iced tea fairly bold. You can always start with this and add water to taste. Also, there are brewing directions on the box that can guide you. Enjoy!!!!

The directions on the box explain the ratios of bag to water, but unless you like your tea extra weak, use at least two tea bags per gallon! It's great tea, I enjoy knowing it doesn't have pesticides in it, and it tastes very rich.

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

We use 4 bags to approximately 1 gallon. Bring gallon to a boil first then let bags steep.

I'm having difficulty discerning what your question is asking, Diana. I use a brewing machine to make abt a 1/2 gallon at a time and I still have packets left from the box I ordered a while ago. If you're using one packet to make cups of tea, I imagine that could last a month or longer. I don't recall how many packets came in the box I ordered, but suffice it to say, it is A LOT f tea!! Hope this helps.

First of all this is a 2 quart pitcher, not 64 ounces, or 1 gallon. I had a problem with this when I ordered it. I ended up getting two of these because I can put in the door of my refrigerator. A gallon wouldn't have fit anywhere in my frig. It has a mesh insert which screws into the lid, which is where you put the tea. I use the Twinings English Classic cold brew tea bags. You could also use loose leaf tea. it works very well, the only issue I have is cleaning it. You have to take the clear rubber rings(gaskets) out of the lid and the part that screws onto the pitcher itself. They tend to get moldy very easily. I use three bags, cold water, and let it sit for about an hour. It makes really good tea. First of all this is a 2 quart pitcher, not 64 ounces, or 1 gallon.

I just put the bag in a gallon jug of tap water & set it in the sun to brew. Makes wonderful sun tea. Or you can put a bag in boiling water & brew that way.

Have not used the whole bag at once to determine that. I doubt that one bag will make 1 gallon, perhaps 1/2 gallon.

Hi Kimberly! Of course you can! Use half a tea bag and make half the tea....Always like to remind people how versatile the tea is however - if you have leftovers, you can use on indoor houseplants, home compost pile, trees, shrubs, a neighbor's rose bush (but only if you like them :)Happy Gardening!

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.

I see someone else already responded, but I'd like to add that it's quite simple in that you could put as many or as little tea bags you want, maybe add in a few herbal or green teas, and place in sunshine until it is dark (the other answer gave the advice of no more than 4 hours, but I've never had problems with it if it goes over that if I forget to bring it in.) Personally, I like to make it strong because it will become dilute once you pour it over ice in your glass. If it helps to get you started, I like to add approximately 6 -8 tea bags to a gallon of water, sit it out in the sun in the morning, and you're good to go by afternoon. Enjoy!

I use 2 family size tea bags. You may have to experiment to get exactly what you like.

Ive never made Iced Tea with this, but it's pretty strong. For a normal pitcher of tea, we use 4-5 bags of tea, so for this I might use 3-4.That said, we also often make hot tea and then put ice into it in the fridge.

One bag would probably suffice. I filled a glass, square vase, the top is 4" X 3" and it is 6" tall, and one bag was plenty for that. Hope that helps.

not for making a pitcher of ice tea, but if you need a glass at a time you could use it to heat the water to steep the tea bag for one glass at a time. not practical but possible. i use it for hot tea because i can regulate the temperature.

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!

Well Tony, as CRICKETSDAD answered, one bag will make one (1) gallon of gravy. But unless you're feeding an army that's way too much. It's also suggested to break down the individual measurements and make smaller batches. It all works fine and it's reallllly good.

I have no idea about the tea bags. I use the tea that comes with it and other loose leaf tea. I have always used a lot of tea when I make it. I used to use 6 family size bags to make a pitcher of tea. I have noticed that when I use the amount that they call for, the tea is weaker than I like so I use more. I'm sorry I couldn't be more help, since i like my tea strong, I am probably the wrong person to ask.

Hi! Based on my experience, you might need 3 or 4, but I recommend making one of them the insulated blue bag for cold stuff. I have both types and I've been very happy with them.

Hi Raymond. You should realize that one order is 5 boxes of 100 each teabags. So that's 500 teabags in an order unless they changed it. We order in 2013 and they "use by" date on ours is March 2015. We have 2 boxes left. I am sure they will be fine even if we still have some left after March 2015. We make big batches of iced tea with them and that takes a lot of bags at once. We also use them for hot tea. The product is really great and I think you'll like it.
