Product Description
Fresh brewed iced tea is a natural and sensual drink for what it is and not for what it has been turned into through domestic science and obscure ingredients. Nature itself provides the most delightful tastes, and tea is one of them. Making ice tea in a natural way may not be as fast as opening a bag of powder and mixing it with water, but if you are conscious about what you fill your body with, the Bodum Ceylon Ice Tea Maker is a true, relatively simple to use, alternative. Add your preferred tea leaves into the filter. Pour 3 to 4 oz of boiling water over the leaves, and fill the jug with cold water from the tap. Close the lid, and leave the tea jug in the fridge overnight. The next morning you will have a tasty iced tea. If you want it really cold pour the tea into glasses filled with ice. The SAN plastic tea maker holds 50 oz and will fit in most fridge door shelves. Dishwasher safe.

Amazon.com Review
Bodum, renowned for its classy coffee presses, also produces an exciting range of options for tea drinkers, including this Ceylon iced tea maker. Looking like a popular filtered water pitcher, the slim, oval-shaped Ceylon features a straining lid, sturdy handle, and, most importantly, a removable infuser that holds loose or bagged tea, as well as fruit or vegetable slices for making infused water or wine. Because the plastic pitcher is transparent, contents and strength are quickly viewed. The Ceylon holds approximately 50 ounces (1.7 liters) and is designed to fit compactly into a refrigerator shelf or door.

To brew iced tea, Bodum recommends placing seven tablespoons of loose tea into the infuser, then filling halfway with nearly-boiling water. After steeping for three to five minutes, remove the infuser to stop the brewing process. Fill the rest of the pitcher with cold water or ice cubes. Or, add only cold water to the same amount of loose tea, and brew in the refrigerator for 12 hours. To make infused water (or wine, for sangria), place slices of lemon, lime, cucumber, strawberries, fresh peeled ginger, or even sprigs of lavender into the infusing chamber, fill with ice cubes and cold water, and serve after approximately five minutes. Easy to use and resulting in healthy drinks, the Ceylon is made of SAN plastic that will not absorb odors or colors. Bodum recommends washing the pitcher and infuser by hand, and includes a free sample of Ginger Peach tea from the Republic of Tea brand for your drinking pleasure. --Ann Bieri

easy to use and makes delicious tea June 18, 2008
Just the right size for many glasses of tea. I put the ice in the glasses and then fill from the pitcher. Nice looking design and fits into the refrigerator easily

ice tea pitcher June 16, 2008
Pitcher works just like instructions say. I put my tea bags in and let the sun do the rest. Tea quality depends on type of tea used. Hand washing is a pain but not so much as to prevent me from using the pitcher.

Piece of Junk May 30, 2008
It is very small. Which was fine with us since it is only 2 of us. Within 1 use the removable Infuser was cracked at the top. Still usable but annoying. By the third use it is not cracked on the body of the pitcher where the handle bonds with the body. Now it leaks all over and is un-usable. What a waste of money.

Poorly designed April 20, 2008

I guzzle ice tea like a Hummer eats gasoline. I tried this ice tea maker hoping it would make my effort a little less. No dice.

The problem is the stupid plastic filter. My loose tea leaves get stuck in about a quarter of the filter holes, and WON'T rinse out. So how do I clean it? I have to take a toothpick and INDIVIDUALLY poke out the tea leaves from the filter holes. Annoyingly time consuming and a royal pain in the a__.

The pitcher itself is slim so it does fit in the fridge nicely. I went back to the old way of making ice tea because this thing does not really save any time.

Best method to keep a constant supply of fresh iced tea April 5, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

This item sparked my interest as soon as I saw it so I bought one and (don't you love it when this happens), it was better than I'd hoped.
I drink iced tea pretty much daily in lieu of soft drinks or fruit aides. I've tried a number of methods over the years to maximize the number of times when I can simply pour a glass from the fridge vs. spending time to prepare before partaking. This is the best solution I've found. Whenever I pour my last glass from the pitcher, I take the short time it takes to add some loose tea to the removable filter and (OK, this makes it easier for me) fill the pitcher half-way from the near-boiling water dispenser at our sink. I set the stove timer for five minutes and go about my business. When the timer goes of, it takes all of 30 seconds to dump the soggy tea leaves down the disposer, fill the pitcher to the top with cold water and replace it in the fridge. One important suggestion: dump the tea leaves as soon as you remove the filter from the hot water. If you set it in the sink to deal with later, the leaves will swell and make it much more difficult to empty. (BTW, I wound up writing this review for the 51-ounce model as I came to the site to order the 102 ounce model. Twice as big is bound to be twice as good, right?)
