Can you put hot tea and really drink out of them?

Ours is used by an 18 month old so we aren't serving tea yet but it is dishwasher safe which takes high heat. It is solid and made from recycled milk containers and color is through and through. We saw this same set in use at the children's science museum in Naple, FL and is used by many. I have a flimsy set from a discount store at my house that is only good for water and crushed ice. This is so much better!

I don't know. The set is dishwasher safe but we have never tried to brew tea in them. We've only used them for play.

My daughter never puts liquid in her set but if it's dishwasher safe it should be fine..but perhaps not too hot.

Yes! I brew directly from my Keurig into the pot, steep the tea bags (we use Sleepy Time chamomile tea) for a few minutes, then add ice to get it down to a comfortable warm drinking temp.

I know you can drink cold drinks, haven't tried hot- they are plastic- so I'm not 100% sure.

Yes. It's dishwasher safe so it can handle the heat. I generally keep it just above room temp. Or use iced tea.

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.

Sure. I don't usually sip my coffee through them, but my daughter sips her hot tea through them.

The answer to your question is no. It is not meant for use like a tea ketttle. You boil the water first then pour into teapot with tea bag and let it steep for a few minutes. I love this set, very classy.

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.

Although the instructions say not to use with hot liquids, judging from the great build material of the bottle, It can definitely be able to hold hot beverages. Just make sure the tea is already brewed prior.

I used these for iced tea and lemonade. You could put hot tea in them, but it would be difficult to drink with the straw and taking the top off would not be an option. Hope that helps.

Yes. In addition, generally, the tea is made a little stronger. That way people can add water from the bottom to make it to their desired strength after pouring a little tea into their cups.Just be sure to remove the brewing basket once you get the tea brewed.

I suppose you could, my husband just puts it in a tea ball and let's it sit in hot (I mean really Hot) water till he likes the color then he drinks it.

It would be safe to put tea bag in tumbler & let it steep, just like hot coffee is perfectly fine. You certainly can't boil water in the tumbler.

I haven't. I would imagine that you could though. I have filled it with boiled water and it holds up fine. Typically when I'm using it though it had been with iced tea.

I never tried just brewed hot tea, but I did put warm tea in my cup and it was fine.

Yes, you can, but tea should steep. Don't know how strong tou like it. Coffee is great!

You can drink directly from the mug, but it is easier to pour it into a cup if the contents are extremely hot.

I heat the water in a regular tea kettle, then pour the water over the tea into the pot. After it has brewed I then transfer the brewed tea to another pot so the tea doesn't get too strong. Of course you can take out the insert but watch burning you hands. B Hardy

Yes, you can put either hot things or cold in them. They recommend that you either pre-heat or pre-chill the cup before you place the food or liquid inside.

Definitely not. And they do drip from the spout when you pour so you need to have a cloth under them to soak up the tea.
