Can you pour boiling water in them to make Iced tea?

Sure, as long as the glass is room temperature or already hot. Just don't pour it into a cold glass pitcher or any glass for that matter. Lets say you have ice tea in the pitcher and wanted hot tea, make sure you dump the ice tea and rinse the glass pitcher with room temperature water or luke warm water, then you can pour in boiling water.

Absolutely, the reason is tempered borosilicate glass. I pour boiling hot water into it all the time - no problems. Yes it is thin and this helps keep the temperature differential down. I agree you should make sure the pitcher is at room temperature before shocking it with hot water.

It's too thin for you to pour too hot water in this glass pitcher. I think they are only good for room temperature and cooler water or liquids.

I drain the Adagio Teapot into this pitcher after the tea has steeped in boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes. So yes, this pitcher will handle boiling water.

I have poured boiling water from my plug in kettle into the glass jug and it has been fine. I have made it this way at least 6 times, but i have two jugs, so am unsure if it would last through many uses of boiling water poured into it. I make iced tea this way (I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada).

Havn't tried, but I don't think so. You pour boiling water into it, as in tea!

I have made tea in them- but I normally let the water cool for about 4-5 minutes before I pour into the pitchers. They are very think glass and very sturdy, they may be able to handle boiling water, but I haven't risked it.

Yes just filled a glass with ice and brew the tea in your glass or brew the tea in a cup then pour the hot tea over a glass full of ice either way it works

If you double-brew it (with twice the amount of tea), then you can just put ice in it when it's done steeping to make iced tea.

No, you would need to boil the water in the kettle and then pour it over the tea in another vessel.

No, the infuser that holds the tea does all the work, it's really just for looks, I would never make iced tea with these because the whole point is for it to look nice in a tea cup for your guests as it steeps in the hot water. Make sure you buy tea bag holders as you can use the same infuser to make a second or third cup of tea.

The question is- why would you want to. If you are into tea at this level, loose leaf, controlled brewing, etc, you should be boiling water to make tea properly. Cuisinart makes a great electric kettle that is programmable to the temps of various teas. There are others as well. Microwaving water for tea is for people who don't "get" tea.

I've never tried it. I have boiled water with tea bags and poured it into the container about a 1/2 hour of cooling to make iced tea, and I use it for fruit juices and Kool-Aid, but that's it.

Good question. I had not used mine for anything but iced beverages, so I just now poured some boiling water into one of them. The outside is just barely warm. So, yes, you can serve hot beverages in them.

I would expect that, yes, you can pour hot, even boiling, water directly into the container. Mind you, I haven't tried this, but the plastic it's made of is, I believe, heat resistant.

No, you cannot put boiling water for tea directly into this pitcher. I gave this for a gift, and at first she wasn't going to tell me that she did just that, and it cracked. She said that she should have tempered it first by filling it warm water and letting the glass get warm 1st (let me also add... put it on something besides a cold countertop also.) Once the glass has gotten warm over a few minutes, then I "think" it would be fine for the hot tea. I still wouldn't put boiling tea right off of the stove. I would let it cool just a bit. You might had rather buy a pitcher that is made of tempered glass, if you don't want to go through the ritual and waiting. It's a great size, though, for a crowd. I was really sorry to hear that hers broke. She was so happy to receive it as a gift.

Not that I have found, and I have been using Tazo Wild Sweet orange Tea in it with boiling water. I think this is simply an amazing product, an am ordering another so that I can have two kinds of iced tea ready in the refrigerator at all times - sweet and unsweetened as is appropriate in the south :)

I haven't used mine yet. However, I did buy two other tea pots from here and they were perfectly fine after pouring the boiling water over the teabags. I'm sure it would be fine. To make sure, I would start out with allowing the water to cool for a little while (at least one minute) before pouring, and or just pour a little at a time to see what happens.

i never tried to use them in iced coffee. if the coffee is just warm i assume that they would work ok. i don't know about putting them into hot liquid!

Yes you may. I put hot tea and added water to dilute. Let it cool then put into refrigerator. Make sure the the spout handle is far enough back from the door when closed or you will have a lot of liquid dumped.
