Luzzianne. Put 3 family sized tea bags in the Mr. Coffee machine, pour in a pot of water, and turn the Mr. Coffee on. Have a gallon sized pitcher half full of cold water ready. When the water has finished running through the Mr. Coffee, pour the pot of tea into the gallon pitcher. Finish filling the pitcher with water if needed, stir, put a lid on it and shove it in the fridge.
That sounds good, but since you're a southerner you probably ruin it with a pound of sugar afterwards.

I must admit, I'm a little surprised you're not drinking it out of a mason jar.

That ain't tea.

I'm guessing it's his own urine.
What's more it probably tastes better than that pretentious shit he's brewing with his girly glass.

Aqua, have you tried maté?
The short brew time you described reminds me of it. Pour the water over the tea the first time, sip and spit to get the powdery bitter stuff out; pour the water again, drink, repeat.
Drink it with hot water, it´s maté. Drink it with ice water, it´s tereré (unique to Paraguay, and amazingly refreshing). Throw in some mint leaves and it´s amazing.

You know it. I don't have a gourd or a... spoon... straw... thingy, though.

@Aqua-Letifer That is similar to the way we make back home. We pour the water into the pot with tea. Put the lid on, and then pour the hot water on the outside of the pot. When it all evaporates (which is quite quickly), the first batch of tea is poured out into your cup. This "batch" is just used to warm the cup, and then it is poured out.
Repeat. Add water to the pot. Put the lid on. Pour the hot water on the outside of the pot and when it evaporates, pour into your cup to drink.

@taiwan_girl Going to show my ignorance here: The pouring of the water onto the pot and waiting for it to evaporate: is that with a particular kind of clay pot? That's what my boss did in Oz, which I thought was always a little weird, but the pot material was also different. And is it purely done as a timing thing, and to pre-heat the utensils?
Please love yourself.

My son has a mate gourd. He bought it in Buenos Aires in December.
...Does he use it for bong hits?
Seriously though ( @Optimistic too): is there any difference in the outcome of the maté with a gourd vs. without? I would guess no but I've never tried.
