I actually purchased it so that I could use it for hot tea. I was using double-walled glass tea bottles and kept breaking them. I drink mostly loose leaf tea and found a strainer that fits in the top of the 22oz Go Glass -- it was from one of my old smaller stainless tea bottles. You can use a teaball or use teabags. HOW I MAKE HOT TEA: I temper the Go Glass with hot tap water then add my loose leaf tea, put the strainer in and add the near boiling water from my hot water dispenser. Works great! It is a little hot to the touch, but with the silicone cover it can be handled. As with any glass, the key is to use hot tap water to temper it. Don't ever just take it out of the cold car and add boiling water. It will shatter like any glass would. Even the tea bottles need to be tempered. I once added boiling water to one that sat in the cold car all night and the inside wall shattered. Although I just purchased this 22 oz Go Glass bottle a couple days ago, I can already tell I am going to love it. It is more durable, easier to hold on to, and looks cool. Hope this helps.

You can use it for any hot (or cold) liquid, tea works just fine. With tea I do find that I usually need to let the tea cool down a bit with the lid off before I can drink it but once it's to the right temperature it will keep the temperature hot for a decent amount of time with the lid back on.

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.

I have used mine for hot drinks but mostly to make hot tea then add ice and although I usually hand wash them I have put in the dishwasher once in a while

I have only used this product to drink hot tea. With tea, I have never tasted an off flavor.

That depends on the kind of tea you are using and the potency you are looking for. I've used this to make a 1.5 liter size pitcher of sun tea and I've also used it to make a 18 ounce size of hot tea. You will have to experiment a bit to find your flavor level. Since it is big, you have more room to "play". Sorry I couldn't give you a more direct answer, hope this helps

I haven't tried. But it says on the instruction that it is not for use with hot liquids. It's for cold liquids only and hot liquids may cause burns.

I haven't used it for water only, but...the directions say that it does. You can custom set to heat to 212 degree (which is the temp. fo boiled water) with a max. 10 minute brew time. I suspect that would definately boil the water for you. You just need to select that option. It will keep it hot for you also, for up to 4 hours I think (I do not currently have the directions in front of me). It is like that for the tea anyway. You will not regret purchasing this. I it is one of the best purchases I have made in a long time.

I haven't tried it because I'm a coffee lover, but I don't know why it wouldn't work very well for tea. I'm not sure all of the cocoa would go through the filter in the basket for hot chocolate. It might.

I have not tried this, but I do not see why not, so long as the tea is not loose or become loose in the process.

I have never used it for anything hot - it is designed for the purpose of washing the rice BEFORE cooking it, and that is how I have used it. I measure the amount of rice I want to cook, wash it in this bowl, place it in the pot with the appropriate amount of water (for cooking), and then cook the rice. I hope this helps...

I have only used this for cold tea. I use this at work, however if it is advertised to hold hot tea I feel sure you could because the cold tea stays cold all day.

It does have hot water capability. 10 ounces @ 190F max. Not exactly ideal for black tea, but works for green tea, hot chocolate, and instant oatmeal. Mine is being delivered this week and I will post a review after I get a feel for it.

I have used it for either Hot Tea or Coffee, unfortunately someone dropped mine and it broke :( I really enjoyed it while I had it, but it's kind of like an adult sippy-cup.

I have a Breville tea maker that I use to brew my tea (various settings let me go up to 212 for black tea), BUT after brewing I immediately pour the hot tea into the pitcher to cool and haven't had a problem doing so. (I love the pitcher because it holds almost 2 full brews from the Breville so I'm set for all day drinking.)

I tried a hot beverage once but found out the whole cup gets hot making it difficult to hold. Wouldn't recommend it for hot beverages.
