I couldn't find a suntea jar so I decided to improvise. I checked the local WalMart, Target, Kmart, etc., but not luck.
I went to the Container Store & bought a shapely glass container and 2 "replacement" spigots. They had suntea-like jars there, but they were made of plastic and surely wouldn't stand up to a pump session.
I bought a 1/2" glass/mason drill bit and 1/2" clear PVC tubing (about 4 feet) at a local hardware store.
The rest is simple. Drill the hole, insert PVC tubing, & apply rubber cement or whatever around the hole to make a good seal.
The only problem I had was getting the 1/2" tubing attached to the spigot. The PVC tubing was too small to fit around the end of the spigot. I improvised by boiling water, submerging the end of the PVC, and stretching the PVC around the spigot. This made a good seal once the PVC tubing cooled.
good luck.
