Hamilton Beach 40911 2-Quart Electric Iced Tea Maker

As modern-designed an automatic ice tea maker as they come.

The sleek 2 quart pitcher is designed to fit into the door shelf of a refrigerator. That's a major plus since it's harder to find a place for a round pot-bellied iced tea pitcher in the fridge.

It has a built-in paperless tea filter compartment through which the heated water is filtered down. The filter is made from wire screen and needs no replacement.

This is very practical unit to brew a cold one on a hot summer's day.

Follow these easy steps to make tea with Hamilton Beach 40911 2-Quart Electric Iced Tea Maker:

1. Fill the clear plastic pitcher one-thirds with ice.
2. Place the amount of tea (bag or loose) you like into the built-in paperless filter.
3. Select whether you like mild, medium, or strong brewing.
4. Snap on the pitcher's lid.
5. Place the pitcher snug into the receptacle that slides out from underneath the heating unit.
6. Add appropriate volume of water into the heating unit.
7. Switch on the unit and watch delicious tea filtered down into the pitcher of ice.

One feature I like is the way this unit turns itself off automatically when the brewing is over. Turning off the unit is one less thing to worry about at picnics or on those hot summer afternoons when all you want to do is relax and sip your ice cold tea.

Measures 17-1/2 by 11-1/2 by 4-1/2 inches.
