For hot summer days, there is no better kitchen appliance than the tea maker, specifically the iced tea maker. These handy units are much the same as coffee makers and use a reservoir system to heat water and filter it through a chamber holding the teabags. The water is then filtered into a carafe filled with ice. The resulting beverage is ready to drink for a refreshing respite from a hot summer sun.
Tea makers are also used to prepare hot water for traditional tea making. Similar to a standard teapot, an electric element heats the water to the proper temperature for steeping tea. There are a variety of tea makers on the market, though most have similar operations. Great as gifts and a welcome addition to a summer afternoon, tea makers can provide refreshing iced tea in a matter of minutes with little fuss or mess.
