wow, such a unique "japanese" revelation /s
it's how i've been making ice tea for decades.
a dense hot brew that drips into an ice pitcher.
you can even buy a $20 machine that does it;

I don't see why you can't... other than it may end up tasting a bit like coffee. A coffee pot is essentially the same mechanics as an iced tea maker. I would keep it black tea since you can't dial down the water temp... If your coffee pot has a selection for strength, maybe go for the stronger so the leaves have more time to steep. Overall, it's your tastebuds and your tea. If you enjoy the way it comes out- go for it.

I had the same problem. I HATE hot drinks. I also don't like coffee, so iced coffee was not an option. I have been trying to stay away from diet sodas, as they're just really not the best for you (although, yeah I still have Coke Zero, Diet Pepsi, and Diet Coke every few days or so). So then I found [this.] (https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Coffee-2-Quart-Maker-Bagged/dp/B00005OTXI/ref=sr_1_1?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1473787905&sr=1-1&keywords=ice+tea+maker)
It makes iced tea in 10 minutes! Super super handy!! I have saved a LOT of money at the grocery store as I am not buying soda so much anymore, plus, the tea is really good! I use Tazo tea because i think it is more flavorful. I bought the [variety pack] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XWJ43EU/ref=sr_ph_1_s_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1473788046&sr=sr-1&keywords=tazo+iced+tea) from Amazon, which seems a little steep at first, but you have to remember that each teabag fills that entire pitcher, and there are 36 bags altogether. I bought the variety pack 2-3 months ago and I still have a LOT of bags left. My favorite is the passion tea but I really like the black tea and the blushberry.
I've had iced tea made with this one and I really enjoyed the end product.
Another thing to consider is that you need to plan for the total amount of tea you'll end up with after icing it, not just the hot water you use to steep the leaves in.
I honestly really like the results I get from our Mr. Coffee iced tea maker for basic iced black tea.
We also have a Takeya "flash chill" iced tea brewer, which works better for brewing chilled oolongs and such. Since you control the water temp and steeping length, it's also good for brewing black tea that doesn't really match the "basic iced tea" profile.
But really you could just brew really strong tea in any old tea pot (or just a saucepan) and poor over a pitcher of ice.
