Review: Great tea. Convenient for gallon sized Iced Tea. - Lipton makes a great tea for iced tea. Don't waste your money on specialty teas for cold tea. Their flavors are off for this purpose. The one gallon sized bags are perfect for tea and after experimentation I have come to the conclusion that the best way to make it is to bring a little over a quart of water to boil in a sauce pan. Then turn off the burner and let the water cool for a couple minutes. This eliminates the bitter flavors that can come out of the tea if brewed at boiling. I see this mistake often and it just makes a bitter mess. Then, throw in a bag and let it brew for about 3 to 4.5 minutes depending if you want a little more or less flavor. Whatever you do, don't go more than about 5 minutes or you'll get that bitter flavor again. Once done, mix in about a cup and an extra tablespoon or two of sugar. A cup is just a little less sweet than perfect. The extra tablespoon is just right but too much more is syrup. If you want a lower calorie but great tasting brew, use half a cup and drop in some EasySweet or some other liquid artifical sweetener. You can mix that in a gallon sized container with ice and have ready to drink tea, but not having an ice maker, I do the following. Once the sugar is dissolved (while it is hot) let the tea rest uncovered for 15-30 minutes to let the temperature come down. This means it will drop from about 190F to 130 or so. Mix that with 2.5-3 quarts cold filtered water from your 40F or less refrigerator. This will lower the temperature to around 65F and cold enough to be enjoyable, especially on a hot day. This method can also save ice as you can simply put a cube or two in a glass to get that chilled tea. You can also just put it in the refrigerator a little of you want it cooler.
Review: Good tea. Like the large tea bags for iced tea in the summer. - I have bought these for years. We make tea, not by the picture, but by larger containers. We make some large ice cubes in bowls, in the freezer, and then make the tea using these, and then put the tea in those large, sports drink containers.. they are something like 5 gallons in size. Then, we have plenty of tea for when it gets hot. When you have 4 and more people drinking it at a time, you really do not want to have to make more iced tea multiple times a day. Which is why I love these.. Having large gallon size bags, you only need one or two at a time to make a large amount of iced tea. Which saves a lot of time and hassle. On bad thing about these. If you take them out, and put too much pressure on them, the bags can break. I have had it happen a few times to me, so I am just careful when I take them out of the tea. Other then that, They are great. The price here on desertcart is pretty good too. The price here, is the same price as they charge at the local sams club here, but, for some reason, sams has not gotten any in yet this year, so I ordered them on here to get some more.. and with prime, there was no shipping charge either.. I buy these in bulk, as we go thought that much. As they state, these come with 24 loose tea bags (meaning each bag is not individually wrapped) in a box, that box has plastic around it, and then 2 of those boxes are put in the big cardboard box. The big one is not sealed, other then with glue, just like a cereal box is. What more is there to say. its tea.. Its good. They are large gallon size bags, so you only need one to make a lot. and they are reasonably priced. 5 stars..

## Questions & Answers

**Q: O.K. not to sound too dense... so does 1 bag = 1 gallon?  Thanks in advance .   David**
A: For a gallon the easiest way I've found is place 4 or 5 (any less is too weak for me)
family size bags into a 12 cup Mr Coffee coffee maker.
Run it through once and empty into gallon pitcher or gallon water bottle then run 
another 12 cups of water through the same tea bags. 
Makes a gallon. I drink a gallon of ice tea daily and for me this is the best way for me.
Easy to clean up too.

**Q: what size is "family size"? gallon? half gallon? quart?**
A: Also just a little bit of help they have you make the tea with 1 quart of boiling water 1. So it can steep 2. So what ever sugar your going to use will dissolve. Then you add the other 3 quarts of water. 1 bag = 1 gallon

**Q: I like making sun tea.  Are these bags ok for doing sun tea?**
A: I have been making sun tea for many years and these Lipton bags are my tea of choice. I use 10 bags in a gallon size glass bottle and I brew the tea in the sun for two hours. A little longer than two hours if it's a cool day in the mid-70s and a little shorter if it's a hot day nearing or exceeding 90°.

**Q: How many oz. Per tea bag**
A: Thanks for asking! One tea bag makes 1 gallon, or 128 oz of tea. We hope this helps.
