He served delicious tea with the dinner, which I drank without adding any sweetener. However, I did sweeten my second glass of tea. It was tasty both ways.
The brew was the perfect strength. When he told us how he made it, I was shocked. I couldn't believe it was cold brew, meaning it was made in cold water and not boiled.
When the uncle came to dinner at our home a few weeks later, he was sweet enough to gift me with a box of the Lipton Cold Brew Iced Black Tea Bags. I have made it several times since and my husband loves it.
The one thing I, personally, miss is the smell of brewed tea, but the taste is still delicious.
Iced tea is always a welcome and wonderful compliment for meals.
Lipton Cold Brew Iced Black Tea Bags
The 4.8 oz box contains 22 large (family size) tea bags. The box states that you use 2 bags in 8 cups of cold water. However, my glass pitcher only holds 6 cups of water and I still use the 2 bags. It is the perfect strength when made that way.
Allow it to "cold brew" for 5 minutes. My husband's uncle did tell us that he has left it for 15 or 20 minutes and can tell no difference for the longer time.
Cold brew tea does contain caffeine, but is generally considered to only have about half the caffeine of boiled black tea. There are no artificial flavors or sweeteners added to Lipton Cold Brew Tea.
It is also available in decaf.

This is something that I will look into for sure. During the hot summer months I love a cup of cold tea. It's a refreshing change from coffee and probably better for me! Thanks for this alternative Sylvestermouse Cynthia!
ReplyDeleteI used to make Sun Tea like this for many years - cold water and tea bags in a gallon jug, then set out in the sun on the deck. I didn't know there was a 'Cold Brew' style of iced tea, so this is a very helpful review.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of cold brew tea (and coffee) but haven’t tried it yet. Sounds like I may need to remedy that!
ReplyDeleteWow I had no idea that this type of tea existed - When I first traveled to the USA a lifetime ago, I learned that Iced Tea in the states is actually, real cold tea - here I've always bought store brand, not knowing you can just make your own - I have to try this one!
