Monkey Cartwheels Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Anyone know some decent recipes/ ways of making Iced Tea?I want to make some that taste like the Lipton stuff because I'm too poor to be able to buy it lots haha Link to post Share on other sites
Arie Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 There isn't really a way to make it from scratch. You either buy ice tea. Or make tea, cool it down, and add ice. Buying tea bags and making it that way is cheeper than buying ice tea. You can but a whole box for a dollar or two (american idk how it compares there but should stil be cheap). Hope that helps at all! Link to post Share on other sites

Monkey Cartwheels Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 I figured that was the way.Whats the ratio though? How many bags to how much water?And is some tea better than others? Link to post Share on other sites
Arie Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I figured that was the way.Whats the ratio though? How many bags to how much water?And is some tea better than others? I'm nit sure of the exact ratio but you can for sure find that online somewhere. Flavours are really just up to preference. I would stick to lemon, peach, normal flavours.

TK-976 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 There's usually a ratio on the box for making how ever much tea. I would experiment though because it all depends how strong you want the tea to be. I love Arizona Iced Tea. Their Green Tea with honey and Pomegranate with Acai are my favorites.

It is extremely cheep though. Goes on sale sometimes 2 big bottles for $1 Link to post Share on other sites

Monkey Cartwheels Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 Well now I see why you want to make your own!! That's pretty crazy for ice tea!Well, 3.50NZD is 2.80USD, so yeah....THAT is another reason why the USA is better than any other country. Link to post Share on other sites
Arie Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Well, 3.50NZD is 2.80USD, so yeah....THAT is another reason why the USA is better than any other country. I know, i looked it up lol, that's a lot for a drink!!! You're joking right? the US has so many issues! Link to post Share on other sites
TK-976 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Is that with the powdered tea? I don't think I've ever seen it for sale before.They do sell tea bags, but only in limited flavors...though that's not a problem really since all their flavors are amazing haha. Arizona Iced Tea They're mostly known for their tall cans though. Like Arie said, a can is 99 cents. They do sell the powered kind too. Not sure if they sell in New Zealand though...

Dax Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 And is some tea better than others?Flavor is up to personal preference, but in terms of health benefits green and black tea are more beneficial. Green tea contains a lot of antioxidants and research has shown it's good for memory and cognition. It also has heart benefits and is shown to help fight cancer. Black tea has many of the same benefits to a lesser extent. That's not to say other teas aren't good for you, but their benefits aren't as high as green or black tea. Honestly tea in general, no matter what kind you drink, is better than a lot of stuff out there (like soda, sports drinks, ect.) Link to post Share on other sites
Monkey Cartwheels Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 It didn't work? What did you do?I made it too strong. Also I read that you could use honey as a sweetener. That didn't really taste as swell as I had imagined it would........I don't know the right ratios or nothing.

I had lemon leaf tea in Fiji, that stuff was magic. Word of advice though, it isn't the same as a regular lemon tree leaf hahaa Link to post Share on other sites
Arie Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Well honey won't work right unless it's in hot tea. If you are making it hot than you need to sweeten it then so it dissolves properly. Also if it's too strong all you have to do is water it down more! Try again, you will succeed! Every time you try right down the measurements. That way if you make a perfect batch you will have the amounts for the future! Link to post Share on other sites
