Ceylon Iced Tea Pitcher Large

I use loose leaf raspberry, peppermint and spearmint herbal tea. The holes are too large and the leaves do float through the holes. I have both size pitchers. The larger one, which I prefer, has had the very thing handle crack in less than 1 year of use. Last week I was removing the old leaves and I accidentally had the pitcher slip in my hand. I landed on a piece of corelleware and it split in 2. So after 2 years I'm going to have to buy another one. The smaller ones are nice but they are not large enough for as much tea as I drink. (Rxs don't allow me caffeine, soda-pop, juice or just about anything else beside cow's milk). The large pitcher lasts me 2-3 days. I have found that it is better to add sugar to your drinking glass. Putting the sugar in the pitcher leaves a funky taste in the tea in about 3 days.
