I make tea by just making a cup of hot water-don't add any" K cup"- and add my tea bags to the tea cup of hot water. Make double strength tea and add ice cubes when it cools a little. I happened to get a Keurig when my coffee maker died at Thanksgiving last year. Now it is just me and my husband making two cups of coffee in the AM and tea the rest of the day. Very clean and easy to use .
