6.Put desired amount of tea bags or loose tea into the filter. (See Tea and
Coffee Measurement Chart listed previously). Sugar, lemon or other
flavorings can also be added at this time. For best results use 1 ounce or
2 Tbsp. of sugar. When using loose tea, add 2 ounces or 4 Tbsp. of sugar.
These amounts will completely dissolve in the pitcher during the brewing
cycle. If you should desire more sugar, add it directly into the pitcher after
brewing. It may be helpful when using loose tea, to use two filters.
Place one filter on the bottom of the steeping basket. Place desired
amount of loose tea (and sugar) into filter. Nest the second filter on top
of the loose tea (and sugar). Only 8-12 cup basket filters should be used.
Place steeping lid on top of steeping basket.
