Sweet Tea Maker



Easy to use - tip on dissolving sugar for sweet tea
I love this iced tea maker. We use it with bagged tea, loose tea and we also make sweet tea sometimes.

The tip we have found for getting the sugar to dissolve better in the basket is to run the interior of the basket under water so that it's wet. There is still some sugar (maybe 1T) left in the basket but not nearly as much as we have left when the basket is dry. Maybe it's coincidence but it has worked for us.

We have had this for over 2 years and use it alot. A few months ago, the carafe fell on the floor and broke but instead of buying a different tea maker I am just buying a replacement pitcher because this is the best tea maker I've owned.

It says it makes sweet tea but....
I really like this tea maker. I had a different one and it only lasted about 6 months before it started leaking all over the counter. This model is advertised as a sweet tea maker and does have a basket to put sugar to. The problem I have is it doesn't all dissolve. Half the sugar sort of clumps up and doesn't dissolve into the pitcher. It's a minor thing. We just add the sugar to the hot tea when it done brewing. I like the glass pitcher, easy to clean and doesn't stain.

great item
works great but if using Stevia it does not dissolve well. There is a lot left and some is even like sticky paste. But all in all this is a great item
