- Lipton Tea Bags Regular
Ingredients
- 6 Lipton Tea Bags
- 7 Cups Water divided
- 4 Tablespoons Tamarind Paste
- 1 Cup Sugar
Instructions
Brew Tea
- Bring Water to a boil on the stovetop.
- Once the water is boiling, turn off the heat and add in tea. Cover and steep for 5 minutes.
- Once the tea has finished steeping, remove the tea and allow it to cool completely.
Make Tamarind Syrup
- While the tea is steeping and cooling is the perfect time to make the tamarind syrup.
- Start by adding tamarind paste to a small pot and add sugar and water.
- Turn the heat on low and stir occasionally until the ingredients are combined and the sugar has dissolved.
- Set aside and allow to cool completely.
Serving
- Pour the tea into a tall pitcher and mix in tamarind syrup.
- Stir to fully combine.
- Serve over ice and add optional garnishes such as lemon wedges, mint, or rosemary!
Notes
- Make tea with fresh filteredfiltered water.
- Tamarind paste may also be called tamarind concentrate.
- Add ice only to serving glasses to avoid possibly watering down the tea.
- If the tea is too strong for your taste, add more water. Start with 1 cup and add more to your taste preference.
- Add a bit of a kick with ginger. Ginger and tamarind tea is a great combination!
