Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups brewed black tea, cooled
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup sugar-free sweetener
- 2 cups cold water
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Begin by brewing 4 cups of black tea. Use your preferred method, whether it’s a teabag or loose leaf. Allow the tea to steep for about 5-7 minutes for a robust flavor, then remove the tea bags or strain the loose leaves. Set the brewed tea aside to cool completely.
- Once the tea has cooled, measure out 1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice. For the best flavor, use freshly squeezed lemons rather than bottled lemon juice.
- In a large pitcher, combine the cooled black tea and the fresh lemon juice. Stir gently to mix the two liquids together.
- Add 1/2 cup of your chosen sugar-free sweetener to the pitcher. You can use options like erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit sweetener. Stir the mixture thoroughly until the sweetener is completely dissolved.
- Next, pour in 2 cups of cold water to dilute the mixture to your desired taste. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
- To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes. Pour the sweet tea lemonade over the ice, allowing the cold drink to chill even further.
- Optionally, garnish each glass with a slice of lemon or a sprig of mint for added flavor and presentation.
- Enjoy your refreshing Low Carb Sweet Tea Lemonade, perfect for a hot day or as a delightful beverage for gatherings!
Tips
- • For the most vibrant flavor, always use freshly squeezed lemon juice instead of bottled. • Experiment with different sugar-free sweeteners to find your perfect taste profile. • Brew your tea slightly stronger than usual, as the ice and additional water will dilute the flavor. • Chill your pitcher and glasses beforehand for an extra-cold drink experience. • For a fancy presentation, freeze some lemon slices in ice cubes to add both visual appeal and subtle flavor. • If you prefer a less sweet drink, start with less sweetener and add more to taste. • This recipe can be easily scaled up for larger gatherings or parties.
