How would you go about making this tea?

I bought 3 cans of Harney & Sons Iced Tea using a buy two get one free coupon at Barnes & Noble the other day. I was so enthused with my purchase, I didn't even take the time to give so much as a cursory glance at the directions. Now I've read them. Here's what you're supposed to do:

1. Boil 2 cups of water and pour over a tea bag, into a GALLON container.

2. Steep for 15 minutes, then fill w/6 cups cold water.

3. Remove teabag & gently squeeze it.

Here's the problem. I can't find a gallon sized pitcher. I can only find 2.5 or 2.6 quart pitchers. Even if I could find a gallon sized pitcher, once it's full of liquid, I won't be able to lift & pour it. (Back problem!)

Even smaller pitchers are difficult for me to lift, but I can manage them. I drink a pitcher of "ZERO" water every day (has the filter built in.) The first couple of glasses are hard for me to pour, and I usually spill a lot.

If I use a 2.6 quart pitcher, will the tea be way too strong? WWYD? This is supposed to be really good tea. I hate to mess it up. There are those jugs with the spout, but I wonder if one would spring a leak in my fridge. What a mess that would be!
