Helpful Hints
1. Use more or less tea or coffee to suit your taste. Additional tea bags
may be needed when using herbal tea.
2. If your ice supply is low, you can substitute with cold tap water.
After filling the water reservoir with the proper amount of water, refill the
pitcher with cold tap water a second time to the desired WATER level.
Refrigerate to chill.
3. Tea may turn cloudy as it chills due to the tannic acids found in tea.
Higher quality teas will contain more tannic acids than others.
Using less tea will reduce the cloudiness.
4. For extra flavor, try adding several bags of herbal or flavored tea
to your brew.
5. For excellent iced coffee, try dark roast coffee or any other flavored coffee.
