Here's a Mr. Coffee brand Iced Tea Maker hack for you....Instead of adding ice, just brew a double batch... (Brew as normal, less ice then refill the reservoir and brew again using the same tea bag(s) again)...this leads to a full pitcher of strong tea. You can then just add ice/water to your cup to your liking. (This works especially well if you have a water dispenser on the fridge because almost no extra work to add water to your cup but the pitcher lasts twice as long.)

Works great.If you are an adventurous iced tea person, try my special iced tea recipe. It's a 4:1 ratio of black tea (usually English Breakfast) to orange spice tea.
my mom still brews and drinks a gallon a day.

i found while vacationing in the south that iced tea is sweet tea there. you must specify you want unsweetened or the toothless waiter will bring the gross sweet stuff.
Someone told me recently that I drink an usually large amount of iced tea. He doesn't even know that I drink 1-2 cups of hot tea plus 2-5 glasses of iced tea per day at work.I like sweet tea but I try to drink mostly unsweetened while at work (except the hot tea which must have milk and sweetener).

I sip tea nonstop.

I've never tasted a good glass/plastic bottle tea. Snapple sucks
I've been hooked on this for like two years. Just finished my first of the day.
I like sweet tea a lot, but usually only drink unsweetened. I make sun tea on the porch on a regular basis.More importantly, I'm a little worried about @MrsGooch and @_FanMom's kidneys.http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/04/01/us-tea-overdose-kidney-damage-idUSKBN0MS5FT20150401
Mrs. Gooch, Have you put other types of tea in your Mr. Coffee Iced Tea Maker?Have you put green, red, white, herbal?
