This iced tea brewing machine makes up to 2 quarts of authentic Southern sweet tea that’s ready to drink in 10 minutes. An iconic Dixieland refreshment that originated in the late 19th century, sweet tea is favored for its ice-cold sweetness on sweltering summer days. The machine automatically steeps tea at the proper temperature (204 F) for optimal flavor extraction and adds your preferred amount of sugar while the tea is hot, ensuring the sugar granules dissolve and producing a consistent level of sweetness. As simple to use and as unobtrusive as a coffee maker, the automatic sweet tea brewer allows you to adjust the strength of the brewed tea at the turn of a dial and it accommodates any kind of loose leaf or bagged tea. Includes a 2 1/2-quart glass pitcher with an ice level marking and a reusable stainless steel tea filter. Can also make unsweetened tea. Hand wash plastic parts; pitcher is dishwasher safe. Plugs into AC. 15 1/4″ H x 7 3/4″ W x 10 1/4″ D. (6 lbs.)
