BEST SWEET TEA | TESTING DIFFERENT SWEET TEA BRANDS | TEA TASTE TEST

[@haggiefatigue2971]

Men in the South generally prefer tea that is STRONG and SWEET. My aunt used to feed construction workers and concrete finishers every day for lunch. After working in the hot sun they would come in to a FEAST but what they raved about was her tea! It was dark and syrupy and they loved it. She used Lipton too.

[@mikesb113]

Lipton is my favorite! It has the strongest flavor in my opinion. I make it a little different than most though. I put 4 of the Quart sized tea bags in a gallon pot almost filled to the top with water and heat until it is almost to a boil. Then i cover it, turn the burner off, and let it sit 45 minutes. After that i add my 2 cups of sugar to the tea pitcher, pour in the tea, stir and refrigerate. It's strong and sweet

[@CookCleanAndRepeat]

Lipton was definitely lighter! This was so much fun! Thanks girl...and Steven & Cole for doing this with me!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Girl I still feel dumb. Lol 😂

[@sunshinerain6426]

My favorite is Tetley. I always buy the Bi-Lo brand tea though. I only get the Tetley when it's BOGO. Funny story.. when my son died a lady brought by some Lipton and a bag of sugar. I had my daughter make some tea for the preacher. He made a face but didn't say a word. We found out later the Lipton tea bags was already sweetened. So it had been double sweetened.Talk about embarrassing!! But kinda funny. Never had seen that before.

[@mssandybeach1]

Just watched the CookCleanAndRepeat. It was fun watching both taste tests... You have a sweet family too. Thanks for sharing!!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@brianparent8901]

I use Constant Comment for my ice tea. I put in Agave Syrup, which does NOT make my A1C jump through the roof. I am a Type II diabetic. I take Metformin and no insulin.

[@RCsMom4]

I’ve never tried any but the Lipton and it’s the only kind we ever make. We love it! I ashamedly enjoyed Cole’s burp.......the face says “here it comes and I’m not holding back”.....then you give him the look and now his face says “oh my bad..I’m sorry”......then he looks to the camera and his face says “no I’m not”....lol..... Your son is adorable !

[@MandyintheMaking]

Hahaha! Typical teenager. LOL

[@galastatic]

You might want to check on this. I did the same thing the other day. If I’m not mistaken The southern style iced tea from Lipton that you picked up is presweetened with sucralose (Splenda). That could explain why you guys thought it was sweeter and the color was lighter. Luzianne has a presweetened one like that as well.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Yes, we discovered this out afterwards! But the regular is still a good bit lighter in color. Thanks for watching!!!

[@verizon5348]

This was good to see as I'm in the market for tea. I'm not much of a tea drinker, however. My favorite part of the video was Cole and the look on your face. It cracked me up. LOL

[@dbisamazing84]

This is very interesting, because I've stuck with Luzianne for a while now, and I usually cold brew it, which is different than the way most people would make sweet tea. I'm definitely curious to try another brand and see how it compares. This was a great video.

[@papaapple93]

This was a great taste testing sweet tea video!! The Lipton Southern Sweet Tea tasted extra sweet because the tea bag’s are already sweetened but all are delicious tea brands my favorite is Luzianne when I make tea but I love the size and value of the Great Value tea bags

[@vanessaangeles7063]

I'm a Lipton girl myself! I love a sweet tea. But my husband loves Tetley. Sending lots of love from Houston, Texas❤

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thanks Vanessa!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@tink4487]

I have been a Luzianne tea drinker for many years. To me it just taste the best.

[@vikkibyington989]

I’m a Luzianne gal !

[@sewesme4866]

I had tons of fun!!! The best review ever!!! I love how you did this test with a handsome family. We Like Lipton at my home. Wishing you a great day!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you!

[@sighermike]

It's funny, I typically do Lipton. Then we've recently started doing the Great Value mostly because the Liptons were always out. But, today I just found a box of Tetley that I had in the cupboard since I bought tea earlier in the year. Tetley was always my favorite growing up, so I decided to try it. I like it so much better. We make sweet (sweetened) tea all the time, I make two to three gallons at a time and we go through it within a few days.

[@Doxiemama88]

Lipton is my fav too! Thats the only kind I buy!! Loved this taste testing video!!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you Amy!

[@KarensTownsend9]

Red Diamond is good too. And I buy the black box at Walmart $1.12 National Cup. So good. Some times I add a few drops of Orange flavor to a gallon.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Several people have mentioned that kind! Thanks Karen!

[@ForeverGodsGirl03]

Luzianne is my favorite tea brand. I wished you guys would've reviewed the Community brand of sweet tea. I think you would like it.

[@brendatate8986]

I make Lipton! But I’m definitely going to try GV just to see. Love seeing your guys with you! You and Jen need to do more of these taste Test. Fun to watch! Thanks!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thanks Brenda! It was a fun challenge!

[@CookCleanAndRepeat]

DEAD at your bloopers.

[@MandyintheMaking]

I'm so dumb girl 😂

[@homespuntreasures1]

This was such a fun video I enjoyed it. My favorite tea is Tetley!! :) I always LOVE your bloopers. LOL!! ~Dana~

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thanks Dana! I need to start putting them in more often 😉

[@UnderAPileOfScrap]

This was fun to see!! NOT Lipton fans here at all, but we don't drink any of the other brands either. We prefer Red Rose, which Walmart used to carry, but has stopped. I do a blend of green tea with the regular tea and have to make it by the gallon, 2-3 at a time, and no, we're not from the South. Lol

[@christinawilkinson1110]

My favorite is the peach tea...especially the Golden Peak peach tea! Have you try those? They also have sweet tea.

[@MandyintheMaking]

I used to love Snapple Peach Tea - my daddy always had that in the fridge - it was his fav!

[@sarahfowler9907]

Love your channel! The bloopers crack me up!! Gonna have to try some lipton ice tea.

[@MandyintheMaking]

I could have a whole video of just bloopers. Words are hard sometimes. LOL

[@meganizzle23]

I have tried and tried different ways to make tea and I tried your way & BAM I made my first great tasting tea! I’m so excited. I had Luzianne and it’s literally perfect. I wrote it down so I can make it again the exact same way next time. Times I’ve made it before it was so bitter and i wasn’t sure what I was doing wrong. So thank you for making this ❤️❤️❤️

[@joanjohnson7186]

Luzianne is our fav.....I add a dash of baking soda to cut the bite of the tea....

[@MandyintheMaking]

That's what Jen does!

[@TheFarmerandTheSouthernBelle]

I like the Lipton too!! Fun video! 🤗

[@MandyintheMaking]

Team Lipton!! Lol 😂 Thanks girl ❤️

[@debadams5602]

Cool video.. I bought Lipton tea yesterday. I’ll try it today.

[@cheryl7198]

Enjoyed this video so much! Love your what’s for dinner videos too! You have some great recipes! Thank you for sharing! 👍🏻😊🌹

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you Cheryl!!

[@-glc9052]

This was so fun, Mandy! I commented on Jen's channel we have been using Red Diamond after using Luzianne forever and we just wanted a change and I didn't like Lipton although that's what my mom always used. I had no idea this tea test was coming up and just grabbed a box of Great Value at Walmart last week and made it and didn't even tell my husband and he commented on how good the tea was. lol I guess I'll be buying Great Value for a while. I just read Jen's comment about Southern Style Lipton and I didn't even know there was a southern style I may have to try that just to see if I like it also. Again, such a fun video!

[@MandyintheMaking]

I've never heard of Red Diamond! I need to look for it!

[@-glc9052]

Mandy, I get it at Walmart. I think it's a southern tea and coffee company from Alabama. We like it but now I want to try the southern Lipton. lol Y'all have me wanting to do a tea test now!

[@lindahamilton5416]

My favorite is Lipton!

[@Blessedgal_3897]

Lipton is definately the best. Cole's burpe and your facial expression was hilarious. Loved the bloopers too. 😂❤😉

[@MandyintheMaking]

Lipton FTW! 😂 That's classic teenager right there lol! Glad you enjoyed it! 😘

[@jules1011]

Awww tell hubs great job on being on camera! I left a message on Jens channel that I need to know how to make this because it would be easier finding a unicorn than getting REAL sweet tea here in California 🤣😂😀

[@MandyintheMaking]

Lol! I have been to L.A. twice and both times when I asked if they had sweet tea - I got told - McDonald's does. 😂

[@jules1011]

Mandy in the Making Exactly! It’s great to me but need to taste actual homemade sweet tea

[@ecppce1]

This was so cute!! As I told Jen I usually drink Lipton but curious on the great value. I don’t sweeten my tea I add my sweet n low and so does everyone else here.

[@MandyintheMaking]

I know a lot of people who use sweet n low/Splenda so I understand! Thanks for watching!

[@Southernfarmandkitchen]

I'm thinking I wanna try the GV too...

[@foxylady1766]

Add fresh lemon to the ice tea and fresh mint it makes it Better and fresher Yummier

[@bernadettephillips3655]

A crack up to watch! Fun

[@akui88]

I like red diamond iced tea bags.

[@papaapple93]

I loved watching this video I am a huge fan of sweet tea and make it weekly because it is delicious

[@mirandajordan4131]

My husband is a strong tea and coffee drinker too.

[@vjpaul007]

Great Vlog and Go Tigers. I love Lipton

[@Day-Zee62]

Very informative. Will get Lipton for my son. I had to rewind and see Cole burp. That was too funny🤣😂🤣😅

[@tinabarton9612]

New subbie from CCR channel. I'm mother of two grown boys and when your son burped it brought back good memories. Gotta love boys!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Aw! Hey! Thanks for coming over and yes. Boys. 😂😮

[@ellenadams5686]

I make my own iced tea from tea bags in a pitcher in the fridge

[@pamelacurry7515]

We usually drink decaf Lipton. I only use 3/4 c sugar for a gallon and steep it for at least 30 minutes

[@MandyintheMaking]

Steven said that sounds like something he would like!

[@pamelacurry7515]

Mandy in the Making yes he just might, if he likes it strong. I use 4 family size (12 regular) tea bags 😱🤪

[@nicolefrisby7234]

That Lipton one is already sweetened, that's why it was so sweet. I had to go back and re-watch bc I thought that's what you picked up. I used to make Lipton, now I make Luzianne.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Yup! Jenn told me that a little while ago and I looked at the box and YEP. Sigh. LOL

[@nicolefrisby7234]

Luzianne also makes a pre-sweetened one. I’ve used both and prefer Luzianne. They’re both pretty good.

[@Tooniepie]

Loved watching this!!! Especially that awesome burp. I give it a 7

[@Tooniepie]

Give the burp a 7 🤣

[@MandyintheMaking]

[@MotherHemCreations]

My friends in new Orleans mailed me a huge care package including luzianne tea. My hubby loves it!

[@MotherHemCreations]

Luzianne isn't steeped the same though. You use less for how much your steeping.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thanks for the tip!

[@melissahill9138]

What a fun video! Us southerners love some sweet tea!!!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Yes we do!

[@nolasurmanek7693]

Great idea So fun!!!!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you!

[@carynr8152]

We mix that same Lipton and the Luzianne in our house. 2 bags Lipton, 1 bag Luzianne in the Mr. Coffee tea maker. 👍🏻

[@MandyintheMaking]

That's a cool idea!

[@carynr8152]

Mandy in the Making it’s not super sweet but it’s a good mix. My husband doesn’t like it too sweet. But I grew up on my Texan grandmother’s sweet tea, which always had 1.5 cups sugar. 😉

[@mskittyjudy6943]

Upon ATK, I went out and spent $8 (W/M) for a box of "Twinings" (I think it was a 50 pkg...whatever W/M was carrying). I think it made an extremely WEAK tea. I even put 'extra' bags. Still a 'boring' cup/s of tea.

[@Pegily]

I just did a taste test with Lipton regular, not Southern, and Great Value, both sweetened with sugar, couldn’t tell the difference. Lipton is twice the price of Great Value…so I’ll stick with Great Value.

[@CookCleanAndRepeat]

Hold the phone!!!! No wonder yall liked lipton and thought it was sweeter. Yall used the "southern" one. I just used regular.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Girl. I had NO idea! LOL No wonder!

[@luannshaw2781]

Curious, what is the difference in the Southern?

[@Southernfarmandkitchen]

@@luannshaw2781 it has sugar already in it lol

[@MandyintheMaking]

It's already semi sweetened with zero calorie sweetener!

[@Southernfarmandkitchen]

@@MandyintheMaking how much sugar you put in your gallons? I use 1 3/4 cups

[@mariamaerz1947]

I make my tea strong but sweet but I love flavored teas I make orange spice tea but a new favorite is mint tea

[@sarah28681]

Great value is what I use because I like a strong sweet tea. But I love all sweet tea and Lipton is good to me too! Maybe I will do this blind test to see what we like!

[@MandyintheMaking]

It's very surprising!! You should give it a try! Thanks for watching 😊👍

[@amberl4401]

This is a great video trying sweet tea. I usually like the store brand or Lipton. Lipton green tea is also good. Have a nice rest of the week. 😀
