Iced Tea Maker Replacement Pitcher
Posted on Sunday, February 7th, 2010 at 9:14 pm
I’m looking for a replacement pitcher for a Mr. Coffee Iced Tea Maker model TM 43.?
They discontinued support for your model. Pawn shops & flea markets are probably your best bet.
I used to use a Mr. Coffee, but got tired of the pitcher splitting @ the seam. I saw a Good Eats episode where Alton made iced tea with just a kettle and a quart measuring cup, tried it & liked it better.
I bought a box of Tetley loose leaf tea and only need 2 tsp for a 2 qt pitcher. It ends up tasting better and costing less. Plus I don’t have to make room for a one-use machine.
Recipe:
1 oz. black tea (for me 2 tsp was good)
1 qt. boiling H2O
Start by brewing up a concentrated batch of hot tea infusing a full ounce of loose black leaves in a quart of boiling water. Let this steep for about 4 to 5 minutes. Now since cold masks subtle flavors, go with a good tea but not a great tea. It would be wasted.
When the time’s up, strain into a pitcher large enough to hold at least 2 quarts of liquid. Now once this is thoroughly strained through, we’re going to add another quart of water, room temperature water. Why? Well if we’d just brewed with boiling water to begin with, we’d have a bunch of hot tea, it would have a long time to cool down enough to drink. If we were to add cold water, that would be even worse because boiling water extracts a lot of compounds from these leaves. Any sudden drop in temperature could force those solids out of solution and we’d end up with cloudy tea … and nobody wants to drink cloudy tea.
