Lipton black tea blend recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp nilgiri
  • 1 TB assam
  • 2 cups hot water
  • 3/4 cup raw cane sugar
  • 6 cups ice cold water

Instructions

  • Steep the nilgiri and assam tea in 2 cups of hot water for 10 minutes.
  • Add 3/4 cup raw cane sugar, maple syrup, or my personal favorite, coconut sugar, and stir well.
  • Stir in mint extract or other flavor options, if you'd like, and add 6 cups ice cold water.

Notes

  1. If you'd like to make a bulk batch, just mix 1 cup nilgiri and 3 cups assam and store in an airtight glass jar. Steep 1 1/2 TB of your blend in a few cups of hot water and add enough cold water to fill a 3-quart pitcher.
  2. If you'd like to make a no-calorie option, steep 1/2-1 tsp of stevia leaves with your tea blend and there's no need to add any other sweetener.
  3. To save the most money, buy these teas in bulk (I will order 1 1-pound bag of nilgiri and 3 1-pound bags of assam when I order) and store the extra in an air-tight container in a cool dark place until ready to use.
