Sweetened or Unsweetened?

National Iced Tea Day on June 10th each year celebrates one of summer’s favorite drinks. Whether you prefer sweetened or unsweetened, with or without lemon, many love and enjoy iced tea by the glass full all summer long.

Basic Iced Tea Recipe Instructions:

  • In one quart-sized mason jar, add three Lipton Black Tea Bags.
  • Add 2 cups boiling water and steep for 5 minutes.
  • Take out the tea bags. Add ice to fill the jar to the top.
  • Add one or two items from the list below:
  • Apple slices, lemon slices, blueberries (smash them slightly to release the flavor), orange slices, a small piece of fresh peeled ginger or raspberries.
  • Refrigerate for approximately 2 hours to release the fruity flavor into the tea.
  • Drink as is or add a small amount of sugar or honey if desired.

Sweet Iced Tea Recipe Instructions:
