Instant Tea

[debodun]

I can't find this in any local store. I remember when stores carried it. Thay have plenty of instant coffe. Where did the instant tea go?

 

[Aunt Marg]

Goodness, I've been making instant tea for decades.

Tea bag into mug, fill with water, let tea bag steep for a minute or two, remove tea bag, voila, one cup of instant and tasty tea.

You don't let it steep too long.

Not too long, I hate strong tea, Deb.

Ah, okay, I'm following you now, iced tea. Oh yes, I buy that, too.

Maybe it's considered a non-essential product ?? Lipton's instant is available at our Target store but I haven't seen Nestea here for a long time.

I tried to look for Nestea online and my computer wouldn't let me on teh page - said there was a security risk, but I did find this:



I infer from it that they had discontinued it, but this article is over a year old and I have not seen instant tea in any local store.

I just checked the pantry and there's a tin of Good Host.

If you can find the Good Host brand, Deb, it's super good.

I think Good Host is a Canadian brand not available in the U.S.

Right... didn't even think about that.

Are you sure that is instant tea for making hot tea and not iced tea mix? I looked at Lipton's web page and only saw iced tea mix there. I just want plain unsweetened unflavored instant tea powder.

Yes, it's Lipton's unsweetened Iced Tea Mix. Last time I saw it on the shelf was about a month ago (I don't buy it myself, but saw it there).

I hate instant tea from a jar.

I hate instant tea from a jar.

Are you talking regular tea or iced tea?

 

[MarciKS]

The instant in the jar is used for iced tea is it not?

You could, certainly.

 

[MarciKS]

Yeah that instant tea powder does nothing for me. I prefer the tea bags myself.

Me, too, and I've tried loose tea with a tea-ball as well as a tea filter, and it didn't take me long to go back to bags.
