Ok.

I put the water in the tea maker. Put ice in the pitcher. Put tebags in
the steeper. Hit the button. Wander off for 10 minutes. Come back, hit
latch to drain steeper. Throw away teabags.

Pour cold iced tea.

Stick pitcher in fridge.

When I want iced tea, I want it NOW. I don't want to steep it in the
fridge overnight or sit it out in a jar in the sun for the afternoon. I
could mess with a saucepan and teabags, but that's another dish and some
guesstimating at the amount of tea+water+ice to add for the right
strength.

So I'm lazy. Mr. Iced Tea works for me.
