Components
- Sprite: Use a 20-ounce bottle for a single serving.
- Tea luggage: There are every kind of tea luggage, all manufacturers, all flavors. Lipton is the massive canine, after all, however I’ve seen TikTok creators utilizing fancy manufacturers and flavored teas. Lipton even has a cold brew-specific tea. I examined a wide range of teas, they usually all ultimately work. I did uncover that the luggage meant for decent tea took longer to steep and impart their taste.
- Lemon: Have a lemon available for serving, together with some ice.
Instructions
Pour a little bit Sprite out of the bottle earlier than you add the tea luggage so there’s room for the concoction to fizz and fuss. Then, add two tea luggage. The Sprite bottle neck is slim, however should you’re affected person, you could find a solution to roll the tea luggage and slide them in. Truthfully, if not, make the drink in an open glass, I did this in one among my experiments, and it appeared to work high-quality.
Cap the bottle, and gently flip it the wrong way up just a few instances to ensure the tea luggage get coated in Sprite.
Now, you wait. The tea will infuse into the Sprite and it’ll flip the colour of tea. Lots of the TikTokkers I watched confirmed this taking place inside 10 minutes or so. That occurred after I used the tea luggage meant for chilly brew, however after I used the tea luggage meant for decent tea, I needed to wait half-hour.
When the Sprite iced tea is brewed to your liking, fastidiously twist off the bottle cap. (For those who didn’t pour out sufficient Sprite once you began, it could overflow.) Squeeze some contemporary lemon juice right into a glass with ice and pour within the Sprite-tea combine. Toss in a lemon slice, or hook one on the sting of the cup for a trendy selfie. Cheers!
What does Sprite iced tea style like?

Sprite iced tea is superb!
I’m not an enormous fan of normal Sprite, which I discover candy and never particularly flavorful. However the tea mellowed the sweetness of the Sprite and delivered a pleasing, tangy taste that blended nicely with the soda’s carbonation. I stored going again and pouring extra! It’s a pleasant twist on common iced tea.
I additionally assume squeezing the lemon into the glass helped, as there was a pleasant freshness from the lemon juice.
The drink jogged my memory of the traditional Arnold Palmer, the half-lemonade, half-iced tea beverage made well-known by the long-lasting golfer. (There are even Arnold Palmer cupcakes!) I choose the Sprite iced tea to an Arnold Palmer the fizz of the Sprite is a enjoyable addition.
Summer season could also be about over, however we drink tender drinks all 12 months, so I see no cause Sprite iced tea can’t keep round throughout colder months. Get the par-tea began!
