Lipton Family Sized Iced Tea Bags 48 ct.

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 amazon 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..

Great tea bags for making iced tea. I actually have a two liter jar I use to make great tea. I use two of the tea bags and about a tablespoon of loose black tea (the Vietnam wild/mountain tea sold here) in a loose tea type bag and let is brew overnight slowly in the refrigerator. Or, I put it in the sun for three or four hours if I am in a hurry. I don't like the tea sweetened and it really tastes great. I just add a couple of lime slices to the container. Much better flavor and less expensive than buying tea from our local food store.

Best for ice tea.

Works as it should.

I like iced tea and am used to making it the old fashioned way - boil lots of water, steep a bunch of teabags in it and refrigerate for a long time.This product aims to shorten the process by extreme boiling a small amount of water and intensive steeping for a few minutes, which produces super strong tea which you then dilute with cold water. It works really well and gives you cool tea in a relatively short time, much easier than the old fashioned way. The tea is fine, nothing gancy, just plain old zero calorie iced tea which is what I want.The instructions on the box are kind of confusing, I have wound up just using 2 or 3 bags in about a quart, maybe a bit more of boiling water and then filling up a gallon ptcher, I get nice strong iced tea.Be careful, the bags are fragile and will break open easily in the hot water, and the longer you steep the more breakable they get which woll lead to tea particles in the bottem of your pitcher.Overall though, I like them.

I purchased two of these 48 packs as I love iced tea. Especially as I am working from home, this is a great value.The good:Cheap - These are currently sold at less than three dollars. So this teabag costs costs under ten cents for a gallon.Taste - These iced teas taste just like the 'fresh brewed' ones at the iced teaEasy - No more dumping dozens of bags of iced tea. It's just a single bag.The bad:Flavor - I found the flavor to be a bit too weak. So I came up with a modified technique and reduced the water to 3/4 of gallon for a flavor that was good. Even so, it still costs me less than a dime for a tea bag per gallon.Ugly:The tea bag has three problems.- The tea bag floats to the top- Teas get stuck on the walls- Tea bag easily breaks.If the teas aren't sticking to the top, I'd just ignore it. And because the tea bag traps the air, it float to the top so the tea and the teas stuck to the top doesn't seep. And when I push the tea bag down, one of the seams break.I tried to just pour the tea bag into the tea bag. But that created two problems. I still had pieces of tea in my iced tea (which I didn't want), and I had to fish the tea bag out. I wash the container once a week and I make multiple batches. Fishing the tea bag out doesn't work for me. My solution was to use a large french press. I push the tea bag down, with a spoon, knowing it will break. Then I use the french press to filter out the tea.With everything above in mind, here is how I make my iced tea.Equipment: Kettle, spoon, french press, a large container.I had an unused large zero water container with a spigot (I removed the filter) as I installed reverse osmosis filter on my sink. So my iced tea sits in my fridge all day ready to go.I make my iced tea at night. When I wake up, I have a cold iced tea waiting for me!1. Start boiling 32 ounces of water2. While the water is boiling, put half a gallon (64 ounces) of water, or 48 ounces for stronger tea, into the container. This is to protect your container from thermal shock.3. When the water is ready, put one tea bag into the french press, then pour 32 ounces of hot water. If the tea bag balloons and you can not get your water in, don't worry.4. Push the tea bag down. Don't worry if the tea bag breaks, which it probably will. Add more water as necessary.5. After 10 minutes, press the french press (to filter the tea) and pour the hot tea into the container.6. Pour 32 ounces, or 24 ounces for stronger team, of cold/room temperature water into the french press.7. After 10 minutes, pour the room temperature tea into the container.8. Put the container back into the fridge and let it sit overnight, or for 12 hours, to cool it down.My zero water container holds 20 cups. But with the filter removed, it probably holds closer to 1.5 gallon. When my container gets low, I just add more. Once a week, I clean the container to avoid bacteria growth.I hope this help!

I love the family size Lipton tea bags they are perfect for a big family however they have been really hard to find in the stores lately so I was really happy to find them here. For some reason I do not like the taste of the gallon size bags, and the smaller bags you have to use too many to make two phichers of sweet tea

Thrse are great for making any size batch of a quarter or larger. The bags dont break. Make it double strength if you plan to mix it with lemonade. There's no sugar in them. Brew them at black tea brewing temperature.
