To make tea, fill the brew tower with

the bottom of the brew basket.

Make sure the mesh filter is securely
placed in the brew basket.

basket. Place
the tea so that
it is between
the mesh filter
and the pour-
ing spout of
the pitcher
when the brew
basket is in
position.
NOTE:
To make one quart of iced tea
use 6 to 10 regular tea bags or 2 to 4
