Lipton Black Iced Tea Bags

Lipton makes a great tea for iced tea. Don't waste your money on specialty teas for cold tea. Their flavors are off for this purpose. The one gallon sized bags are perfect for tea and after experimentation I have come to the conclusion that the best way to make it is to bring a little over a quart of water to boil in a sauce pan. Then turn off the burner and let the water cool for a couple minutes. This eliminates the bitter flavors that can come out of the tea if brewed at boiling. I see this mistake often and it just makes a bitter mess. Then, throw in a bag and let it brew for about 3 to 4.5 minutes depending if you want a little more or less flavor. Whatever you do, don't go more than about 5 minutes or you'll get that bitter flavor again. Once done, mix in about a cup and an extra tablespoon or two of sugar. A cup is just a little less sweet than perfect. The extra tablespoon is just right but too much more is syrup. If you want a lower calorie but great tasting brew, use half a cup and drop in some EasySweet or some other liquid artifical sweetener. You can mix that in a gallon sized container with ice and have ready to drink tea, but not having an ice maker, I do the following. Once the sugar is dissolved (while it is hot) let the tea rest uncovered for 15-30 minutes to let the temperature come down. This means it will drop from about 190F to 130 or so. Mix that with 2.5-3 quarts cold filtered water from your 40F or less refrigerator. This will lower the temperature to around 65F and cold enough to be enjoyable, especially on a hot day. This method can also save ice as you can simply put a cube or two in a glass to get that chilled tea. You can also just put it in the refrigerator a little of you want it cooler.

I have bought these for years. We make tea, not by the picture, but by larger containers. We make some large ice cubes in bowls, in the freezer, and then make the tea using these, and then put the tea in those large, sports drink containers.. they are something like 5 gallons in size. Then, we have plenty of tea for when it gets hot. When you have 4 and more people drinking it at a time, you really do not want to have to make more iced tea multiple times a day. Which is why I love these.. Having large gallon size bags, you only need one or two at a time to make a large amount of iced tea. Which saves a lot of time and hassle. On bad thing about these. If you take them out, and put too much pressure on them, the bags can break. I have had it happen a few times to me, so I am just careful when I take them out of the tea. Other then that, They are great. The price here on amazon is pretty good too. The price here, is the same price as they charge at the local sams club here, but, for some reason, sams has not gotten any in yet this year, so I ordered them on here to get some more.. and with prime, there was no shipping charge either.. I buy these in bulk, as we go thought that much. As they state, these come with 24 loose tea bags (meaning each bag is not individually wrapped) in a box, that box has plastic around it, and then 2 of those boxes are put in the big cardboard box. The big one is not sealed, other then with glue, just like a cereal box is. What more is there to say. its tea.. Its good. They are large gallon size bags, so you only need one to make a lot. and they are reasonably priced. 5 stars..

I am absolutely thrilled with the Lipton Iced Tea Bags! This bulk pack of 48 gallon-sized tea bags is perfect for any occasion, especially parties.

I highly recommend these Lipton Iced Tea Bags to anyone looking for a convenient, delicious, and economical way to enjoy iced tea.

So, yeah, I'm broke (like aren't we all?) and a huge tea drinker. Summertime I will literally go through at least a gallon of cold tea a day minimum with the help of my dad. I was actually looking for instant unsweetened ice tea powder when I found this item and I gotta say $4.99 (price at time I purchased) for 48 gallons worth of tea is much better than $5 and change for a 30 quart jar of the instant stuff. What I do is I have a half gallon Dollar Tree pitcher and an electric tea kettle and I put the 1 gallon teabag in the pitcher and make a super strong half gallon. I put it in the fridge in a cleaned out half gallon milk jug, I keep a gallon of filtered water when I need to refill my (empty and washed) gallon jug of tea, I use a funnel and pour cold super strong tea in the jug and then fill the rest of the way with ice cold filtered water. I normally have a gallon of tea I am working on, the half gallon jug with the concentrated tea, the gallon of cold water all in the fridge and then the half gallon pitcher brewing / cooling on the counter so I make sure I don't run out. Yeah, cold tea in the summertime is that important to us. LOL

I have always wanted to try the original tea that you see the Americans drinking on TV. You look at the price and think it's expensive but for what you get and can make it is a fair price. It's original so mix with fish a english Squash of your choice to make, a ice tea to your preference. It states drink on the day but I found after boiling to make concentrates, split it and they keep in the fridge for a week. I don't see how one person can drink it all as its alot of sugar. but still cheaper and tastier then the ones you buy in UK.

Usually iced tea tea bags are not available in Canada. I first saw them in Pennsylvania when visiting my son but they were not available here. So I was very happy to get amAmazon email to say could order product in Canada. Taste is good not bitter. I also find no need to add sugar or artificial sweeteners. I love my iced tea. The canned diet products has become very expensive over past 2 years and no name products have too much lemon for my liking I brewed it the same day ( very quick delivery btw) I received. The only issue was to find a container big enough to hold a gallon but I figured out a strategy. It’s so incredibly cheaper to make this wa6. I have pretty much drank the gallon over past 2 weeks even though I drink much more in summertime It’s also decaf which is great

Estuve buscando por mucho tiempo este tips de Té, al parecer solo lo podia comprar en Dennys hasta que los encontré aqui, en lo personal solo me gusta agregar limón y obvio hielo. Cada sobre rinde más de 3 Litros. El precio los vale.

We use 2 bags in a Tupperware pitcher and do a concentrate that we keep in the fridge. Then top up with ice and cold water to make a fresh glass as needed. We add lemon juice as well. You might be paying more per gram of tea leaves, but it's much more convenient than using a bunch of the small tea bags. Nice to be able to control the sweetness and intensity of flavour.

I had my first iced tea in America, and I bought my own pack to make it and it is amazingly delicious!
