can you pour boiling water in it to make ice tea?

Sure, but be forewarned that the pitcher tended to crack around the rim and pour spout. I finally stopped using it.

I have made tea with my 16oz pot, by simply making the tea stronger and adding to ice. It takes a little bit of experimenting to get the strength/ice mixture perfect, but Im a serious tea snob.I have also steeped the strong tea, released it into a cup after steeping, allowed to cool then poured over ice and water added to taste SO to answer your question, yes I suppose you could, BUT unless you are making more than a pitcher of ice tea, I would consider buying the 16oz. Either way, if you love tea and love simplicity....buy one of these!

Yes but I'd recommend pouring slowly. Thicker glass breaks easier with heat stress but I have not had a problem with pouring it full for tea right after boil so far. I have also used them from the freezer for beverages. Frosty sided beverages is my favorite use for them.

No, I don't believe so. I boil water separately. I would recommend the tea pot for one person only. It's smaller than I expected.

No, you can not. This particular pitcher is made of soda glass. It's suitable for cold and room temperature water or juice. It does not accomodate boiling water. Refer to Grosche website for other pitchers that are made of Borosilicate glass that you can pour boiling water into.

No...you cannot put it in the dishwasher so you definitely cannot use it to boil water. Use another teapot for that. This is just a press, for pressing tea leaves.

Yes, but don't put cold things in it when it is very hot. That could crack it. Just put your cold liquids in it when the tea pot is at room temperature. I hope this helps.

No, just fill it will hot water from a kettle and add tea to steep. Pretty teapot to serve from.

I have only used mine for iced drinks. I would think it would be OK to pour boiling water in them on a chilly day.

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

I didn't try but I think you couldn't. You can just pour in it boiled tea (as I use it and then pour tea into small cups for example when I meeting guests) or just put some tea leaves in it and pour boiling water.

Yes, I use mine to brew tea and have added boiling hot water from my kettle. The pitcher has been room temp when I've done this, never cold from the fridge.

This is a teapot for holding tea, not for boiling water. You'll still need a kettle for that.The handle doesn't get hot when using it for serving.

You do not HAVE to use boiling water. You can use hot (not boiling) or cold water and wait 30-60 minutes and have tea. Hot water is faster, boiling is even faster. I use these to cold brew. Put the bags in a pitcher of water, put the pitcher in a refrigerator. In a couple hours, the ice tea is ready and it is cold.

Yes, can make sun tea or use Lipton's cold brew...would not put extremely hot liquid in it

I don't think you can. I used it to brew kombucha. If you would put it into boiling water it may crack. I'm sorry that I'm not sure

This is only for boiling water. At least that is what I use it for. I make the actual tea in a separate ceramic tea pot. Hope it helps.
