Ingredients For Sugar-Free Iced Tea

Tea - Reach for your favorite iced tea bags to brew. I used 4 family-size iced tea bags for this recipe.

Sweetener - I use Super Sweet but you can also do a sweet tea with stevia, Gentle Sweet, etc.

How to Make Iced Tea At Home

Full measurements and directions are in the printable recipe card below.

Step 1: Start by adding your water into a pot and heat up the water on the stovetop. You want to bring your water to a boil.

Step 2: Remove the saucepan from the heat and add in your tea bags to steep. Place a lid on your pot and allow it to sit 5-6 minutes.

Step 3: Add another 8 cups of water into a pitcher, and then add your sweetener to the tea and stir well. Once the sweetener is dissolved, discard the tea bags and pour in the pitcher with the water.

Step 4: Taste and flavor your tea to your liking. If it is too sweet, add more water. Want it sweeter mix in more sweetener.

Store your tea in the fridge in a pitcher until ready to serve.

How Long Does Iced Tea Last In Fridge

Sweet tea is best to be used within a few days of storing it.

If you like to sweeten one cup at a time, you can make a pitcher of plain tea, and then store it for up to 5 days. Then add sweetener to each cup once you pour it.

Why Is My Iced Tea Bitter

You will find sometimes when you take a bit sip of tea you find that unwanted bitter flavor that follows. This is due to the tannin in the tea.

But, adding just a pinch of baking soda into the water when you drop in the tea bags is a great way to help eliminate unwanted bitterness.

Does Iced Tea Need To Be Refrigerated

Iced tea does need to be refrigerated once it is made. If you leave it out on the counter you will find the flavor of the tea begins to alter and go bad.

So, always keep it stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
