NOTE: You must wait 9-15 minutes to allow thermostat to cool down before
attempting to brew another pitcher of iced tea.
10. Remove the pitcher and enjoy your freshly brewed iced tea. Unused iced tea
may be stored in the refrigerator.
NOTE: Your tea may turn cloudy as it chills due to the tannic acids found in
tea. This is normal but can be removed by allowing the tea to cool down fully
before placing in the refrigerator or adding a pinch of baking soda to the
pitcher prior to brewing.
11. Wait for the Iced Tea Maker to cool down before cleaning. Open the brew

Hints for Great Tasting Iced Tea
1. A clean Iced Tea Maker is essential for making great tasting iced tea.
Regularly clean the Iced Tea Maker as specified in the “Cleaning &
Maintenance” section. Always use fresh, cold water in the Iced Tea Maker
prior to brewing.
2. Store tea leaves and tea bags in a cool, dry place. After opening a package of
tea, reseal it tightly or place into an airtight container. DO NOT store tea near
spices or strong smelling items as this could affect the flavor of the tea.
3. DO NOT reuse tea leaves or tea bags after brewing as flavor can be lost.
4. If tea is too bitter, a pinch of baking soda can be added to the pitcher prior to
brewing. This will smooth out the flavor and neutralize the tannins in the tea.
It will also remove any cloudiness when storing the pitcher of iced tea in the
refrigerator.
Brewing Iced Coffee
Iced Coffee can also be made using the Capresso Iced Tea Maker. In order to
avoid a coffee taste when brewing tea, we suggest to purchase a separate
permanent filter to use for coffee only brewing. Follow the instructions for
Brewing Iced Tea above but replace tea with 8 - 12 Tablespoons of medium
ground coffee (for drip coffee makers).
