Brewing the Tea:

    1. Boil Water: Start by bringing 1 quart of water to a rolling boil. Remember, a good iced tea starts with great-tasting water, so if your tap water is a bit off, consider using filtered or bottled water.
    2. Steep the Tea Bags: Once your water reaches a boil, remove it from heat and immerse the Lipton Black Tea Bags into the water. Let them steep for 3-5 minutes. The longer you leave them, the stronger the tea will be, but be careful not to over-steep, as this could lead to a bitter taste.
    3. Remove Tea Bags: After steeping, remove the tea bags from the water and press them lightly with a spoon to extract more flavor, being careful not to rupture the bag.
  1. Cool the Tea: Allow the tea to cool to room temperature before proceeding to the next step. This is an essential step to prevent the ice from melting too quickly and watering down the tea when served.

Serving the Iced Tea:

    • Ice the Glasses: Fill your serving glasses with ice to the brim.
    • Pour the Tea: Gently pour the cooled tea over the ice. If you prefer your tea colder, store it in the refrigerator to chill before adding it to the glasses.
  • Garnish (Optional): For a touch of elegance and a hint of additional flavor, garnish your tea with a sprig of fresh mint, a slice of lemon, or even a few raspberries. The garnish will enhance the flavors and delight the senses.
  • Serve Immediately: Iced tea, especially when unsweetened, is best enjoyed fresh. Serve your perfectly brewed Lipton Unsweetened Iced Tea immediately and bask in its refreshing qualities.

Tips for the Perfect Lipton Unsweetened Iced Tea:

    • Freshness Matters: Always use fresh tea bags to ensure the best flavor. Tea can lose its potency over time, so if you’ve had those Lipton tea bags in the back of your cupboard for a while, it’s time to refresh your stock.
    • Avoid Bitterness: Over-steeping your tea can make it bitter. If you prefer a stronger tea, use an extra tea bag rather than extending the steeping time.
    • Cool Before Refrigeration: Let the tea reach room temperature before placing it in the refrigerator to chill. This helps maintain the flavor and clarity of the tea.
    • Consider Sweetening Alternatives: If you decide to sway from the unsweetened path, consider natural sweeteners like honey, agave, or maple syrup. Add your desired sweetener while the tea is still warm to ensure it dissolves completely.
  • Customize Your Brew: Feel free to add different flavors to your iced tea. Herbs like basil or rosemary can introduce intriguing twists to your tea, while a few ginger slices added during the steeping process can give it a spicy kick.
