I have the blue infusion tea pitcher from teavana. $24.95. http://www.teavana.com/tea-products/tea-makers-infusers/p/blue-infusion-tea-pitcher-large I really like it. It has a removable filter for the tea, you can remove the filter while still keeping the lid on the tea. You can use it to brew hot tea or iced tea. Made of some kind of strong plastic, BPA free. The only issue I had was I used ceylon tea once and it stained the mesh on the filter, but it did not leave any taste or smell.
I’ve got the handy cooler from Lupicia, looks same like the ones mentioned above. It’s slim, so it fits on my fridge door. I’ve had it about a year and a half. If you leave the leaves in a long time, the mesh of the strainer will need to be soaked to not stain. The glass feels delicate and thin but it hasn’t cracked yet (knock on wood).
I’ve got the same one and I really like it. I have a slightly different version that DavidsTea used to sell with a small infusion basket so you steep in the little pitcher, then pour the hot tea into the other one full of ice for instant iced tea. I love it and can’t wait to use it again.
With the Modern Iced Tea Maker it makes a perfect small batch of iced tea for two or three people. What this doesn’t do is make a huge batch of tea, if you want to serve a large group. It simplifies tea making because you don’t even have to measure out water!
Teavana will always suggest that for the very best results, use filtered water. I live Seattle where the tap water is very drinkable. For an herbal iced tea, or a Rooibos iced tea (like the Blueberry Bliss in these photos) steep the tea for about five minutes. You can even steep another minute or so, if you want it stronger.
I recently bought Teavana’s Modern Iced Tea Maker for home. I had been making iced tea with an Infusion Pitcher but wanted to try something new. Just to let you know, I’m a huge fan of Teavana’s Blueberry Bliss iced. I know that many people recommend using it to blend with other teas, but I love it straight and made as an iced tea! I add a little sugar to iced tea too.
You fill the Modern Iced Tea Maker with iced. Do not over fill it with ice: if you overfill it, you won’t be able to screw the top portion onto the bottle. When I was buying some Blueberry Bliss for home, the partner at the Teavana store suggested that I try making Blueberry Bliss ice cubes for my tea. So you can see the Blueberry Bliss ice sticks in my glass in the pictures.
It is very popular to blend Blueberry Bliss with Pineapple Kona Pop. You will even find Pineapple Kona Pop at Starbucks stores everywhere, available in small tins of loose leaf tea. I know some people really like Pineapple Kona Pop as just an iced tea.
