Manual, or non-electric, models operate just like cold brew machines (and are, in fact, interchangeable), requiring hours to adequately steep.Though bulkier, electric machines make prep a breeze. Some electric machines allow you to brew tea directly over ice, while others require you to brew tea in the kettle and then pour over ice.But not all models function the same way: When shopping for iced tea makers, you have your fair share of choices - namely, electric or non-electric. "The benefit of an iced tea maker is being able to make any type you’d like without worrying about added sweeteners, additives, and preservatives," Papantoniou explains. "Add tea (loose or in the bag) to the basket and allow hot water to dispense over it and brew into a pitcher filled with ice." Alternatively, iced tea can also be made like cold brew - steeped in cold water for a long period of time. "Iced tea makers work similarly to coffee makers," says Nicole Papantoniou, senior testing editor in the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Technologies Lab. With the right iced tea maker at your disposal, whipping up a big batch of tea is as easy as 1-2-3. It's a win-win, really - the refreshing treat is more inspired than an array of sodas, bottled tea, and water, but there's no need to break a sweat when brewing. Few things say summer like a big ol' pitcher of an iced tea cocktail on the buffet at a backyard barbecue. ![]()
