Common Questions on Lemon Lime Sweet Tea

Does lemon make sweet tea bitter?
It can if the tea over-steeps. Keep steep time around 10 minutes and add lemon after brewing to keep the flavor bright and smooth.

Can I use bottled lemon and lime juice instead of fresh?
You can, but fresh juice gives the tea a cleaner citrus flavor. Bottled juice sometimes adds a slightly flat or sharp taste.

Why does this recipe not need sugar?
Southern Breeze tea bags are pre-sweetened with zero-calorie sweetener, so the tea already tastes sweet once brewed.

How long does lemon lime sweet tea last in the fridge?
About 3–4 days in a sealed pitcher. The citrus flavor is usually brightest within the first 48 hours.

Let Your Pitcher Steal the Show
