How to Make Lipton Sweet Tea
Lipton sweet tea is a refreshing, flavorful beverage that can be enjoyed at any time of year. Making it is easy and all you need are a few simple pantry items. Follow these steps to make your own delicious cup of Lipton sweet tea.
Step 1: Boil Water
Begin by boiling four cups of water in a medium saucepan. Once the water has come to a rolling boil, turn off the heat and set aside.
Step 2: Measure Tea
Using one teaspoon of tea per cup of water, measure out four teaspoons of Lipton Sweet Tea Mix into a heatproof container. Pour the water into the bowl, covering all of the tea leaves.
Step 3: Steep the Tea
Cover the bowl with a lid or plate, and allow the tea to steep for 5-7 minutes. Be sure not to steep for longer than 8 minutes, as this will produce a bitter cup of tea.
Step 4: Add Sweetner
Once the tea has finished steeping, add 1-2 tablespoons of your desired sweetener. This can be granulated sugar, honey, or agave nectar. Mix the sweetener into the tea until it has dissolved.
Step 5: Chill
Pour the tea into an ice filled glass, adding more ice as needed. Stir to combine and enjoy your freshly brewed Lipton sweet tea.
Tips For Making the Perfect Cup of Tea
- Use high quality tea leaves: Make sure to use tea leaves that are fresh and high quality to get the best flavor.
- Let the tea steep: Don’t rush the process and skim on the steeping time. Allowing the tea to steep fully will provide the best cup of tea.
- Experiment with flavors: Choose different sweeteners and amounts to cater the tea to your preferences.
