The Iced Tea Maker!

I finally got around to testing out my new Mr. Coffee Iced Tea Maker.  It's been sitting in the back of my car all this time.  It's not that I'm a procrastinator - although I am - it's that I've been so busy I can barely stop to pee.  Now THAT's busy.

This afternoon the weather is hot but muggy, and instead of being feverishly hurrying through lines of code, I'm hurrying up and waiting for phone calls to be returned.  The beauty of the hurry-up-and-wait is that the ball is now in their court, so I have a minute to pee and do other things - like make iced tea!

I wish now that I'd rescued this little doo-dad from the car sooner.  It's wonderful.  My new favorite thing.  I can now have tea in the afternoons again.  It says on the destructions that it makes great iced coffee too, so I may have to try that.  It was easy to use and quick - it took about 10 minutes for the water to heat and steep through.  I used a combination of Adagio Ti Kuan Yin tea and a lemon spice concoction.  And the result is cool and delicious. 

The downside (there's always something, isn't there?) -- the parts are not dishwasher safe.  What the???  That is a MAJOR downer.  And of course the hubs isn't happy about having yet another appliance on the counter.  I told him we need to remodel the kitchen so we have more storage space.  Heh.  I guess that does seem like an overkill solution.

Best Iced Tea Maker
Making iced tea is now even easier. You have a machine to brew your coffee, so why not an iced tea maker too? These are fun machines to have if you enjoy a lot of cool iced tea in the summer.

Great post! Iced tea, brewed from the leaves or flowers of numerous herbal plants, can provide you with a chilled glass of refreshing fluids. Not only can it help quench your thirst, but iced tea may also offer you several potential health benefits. Because everyone's dietary needs are different, talk to your doctor before making any major changes to your dietary practices, including the use of tea as a self-treatment for a potential health problem.

We bought a Mr. Coffee Icemaker and tried the first batch. It tasted awful. We used family sized tea bags (3) and it started steaming right away. How did you get it to steep for ten minutes?

We are still trying to get the taste right. We are going to use smaller bags. The ice seemed to dilute the Tea.

That's good to know Judy, thanks!

Heheh, that little typo isn't really a typo, I just talk funny. :)

You can wash it in the dishwasher as long as you have AIR DRY.. I do it all the time. Just do not use heat dry.

i think i've just spotted one of the best freudian typoes ever. you said the tea maker came with "destructions" hehe
