Lipton Herbal Tea

Love, Love, Love this tea. It is so good. It taste exactly the Southern Sweet Tea I have been purchasing in the local grocery store and big box stores. No more! I will never purchase this tea in a store again. It is absolutely delicious. I shared it with a neighbor and she too is sold on it. I made my tea as Sun Tea. As I sit here I am praying for sunshine again tomorrow so I can make more. My entire family loves it.

This tea tastes good. Just understand this tea is in no way the classic sweet tea you know and love. Mama’s beloved sweet tea is in a whole different class, plain and simple. And that’s simply because the sweetener in this tea is not sugar, it’s Sucralose. No matter what ordinary people may say, and despite endless and laughable claims from those who manufacture artificial sweeteners, absolutely nothing tastes like real sugar. I am forced to avoid sugar throughout my day, so I am very familiar with artificial sweeteners.With that said, I was still rather pleased with how this Sucralose sweetened tea tasted. It is not bright and bold by any stretch, yet it does have a very pleasant drinkability, and finishing off a pitcher of this ice cold tea is absolutely not difficult at all. My own method of brewing this tea is very simple: put two tea bags into a two-quart pitcher of hot water, then let it sit for about twenty minutes. Actually, I fill it halfway, brew the tea, then top it off with ice cold water. Your mileage may vary :-)After using up this first box, I can certainly say I indeed enjoy the flavor well enough to add this sweet tea to the sugar-free beverages I like well enough to continue purchasing. Lipton long ago stopped with individually wrapping each tea bag, opting instead to plastic wrap the entire box of loose tea bags. I tend to drink a fair amount of tea, and have never noticed anything like stale tea as I use the last tea bag in other Lipton boxes of tea, and I believe if you drink this tea in a reasonable amount of time, you will not have to deal with stale tea.This sweet tea would be ideal for diabetics and those who try and keep sugar out of their diet as much as possible. Just don’t expect a time honored classic glass of sweet tea, simply because Sucralose tastes nothing like the real thing (regardless of what those smiling, happy people in advertisements try and claim). Even so, this most definitely makes a very good glass of iced tea. Now go get you some :-)

All the jars of powdered ice tea seem to be discontinued. I hated boiling water to make ice tea. Started buying this cold-brewed and I buy it all the time now. In fact, way too often. I drink a lot of it. No sugar, no lemon, no calories. Great stuff. When I get down to one box left, I am on Amazon ordering 6 more boxes.

This is not as convenient as the instant, but since I don't care for the zero sugar lemon flavor I tried this and it tastes much better but have to brew it. I wish they would bring back the instant southern sweet tea.

This made a decent iced tea. It was a made according to instructions, and added a 1/4c of lemon juice per gallon. Found I drank it fairly quickly.

✅ Easy to make✅ Fresh brewed taste✅ Cheaper than buying pre-made bottled teaI place 1 bag in pitcher and cover with hot water and let it steep. Seems to work more quickly and make a stronger batch. I add ice to the pitcher and cold, spring water for a perfect batch every time! In the hot water, sometimes I add fruit or a flavored, small tea bag for added flavor. Add your favorite sweetener, and Voila!😎

I absolutely love this tea. I found it in a store this summer and tried it. So much better flavor than premade carton tea. It has the right amount of sweetness. I'll continue to buy this.

I will need to order more this month
