Abstract: A brewing pitcher can be used for brewing and dispensing a beverage such as iced tea. The brewing pitcher can include a container body for holding a liquid, an external cap, and an infusion unit. The infusion unit can include an infusion container for holding an infusion ingredient and an inner cap. The infusion unit can be sized to fit completely within the container body with the external cap in a sealed position. The infusion unit can be further configured to engage an interior surface of the container body to suspend the infusion container within the container body in a fixed position. The brewing pitcher can be configured such that fluid can be dispensed from the container body without requiring dispensed fluid to flow through the infusion unit when the infusion unit is positioned within the container body.
