Lipton Linea tea - how to serve chilled?

Question

I have just bought some new lipton Linea teabags (new here in Greece, anyway!) and on the advert on TV it says you can have it hot or cold, nut I cant find details of how to serve it chilled..... Do I have to brew it in hot water first, then remove the bag and chill the tea, or will it brew ok by putting the bag straight in cold water???

Thanks xx

Answer 1

as TX said, Cold Brew tea from Lipton claims to be able to brew in cold water.   I have no idea what Linea tea is, but the cold brew tea is pretty substandard in my opinion.

I think you should take some good quality black tea,  brew it in boiling water, and then serve it over ice, or chill.

The best way is to make a concentrate and then add water up to the volume of however much tea you made.  For example, you brew 4 tea bags in one cup of boiling water.  Take the tea bags out and add 3 more cups of water to make 4 cups.  Serve over ice.

Answer 2

I've never heard of Linea tea ..... but I use Lipton's COLD BREW bags for iced tea.  They are made to "brew" in cold water in 5 min.  Unless they're specially cold brew bags, it probably won't get strong enough.  Of course, you could always set the pitcher in the sun, to make sun tea.....
