While intrepidly exploring rec.food.drink.tea, Sevyn rolled
initiative and posted the following:

I've never bothered using a filter with my Ice Tea Maker and I
use both tea bags and loose tea in it. Works fine either way.
After a few trys you will figure out the amount of tea that
works best for your tastes. I rarely have enough ice to fill
the pitcher and often make half batches with good results. I
make life even easier and add the sugar to the filter basket.
As for the tea, I have tried pretty much any tea I would drink
hot. Sometimes the results are odd and I have to adjust the
sugar or add a bit more water but so far (knock wood) it's all
been very tasty.

Oh, how I agree on the lack of ice. We usually make 3quarts of
concentrate and then just fill up the pitcher with water and put it
in the refrigerator overnight. We tend to tap it out in the
evening, so this "system" works for us.

I like that idea. I'll have to try it
