Viral Hong Kong Sprite Iced Tea
Cold brew tea bags in soda to create a delicious and refreshing drink.
Servings: 1 serving (16 ounces)
Ingredients
- 1 bottle Sprite (16.9 ounce) or any lemon-lime soda
- 2 tea bags black tea
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Pour out a little bit of Sprite from the bottle to allow room for the tea bags. Place 2 tea bags into the bottle. The soda will fizz and can bubble over if some of it isn't poured out.
- Screw the cap back on, making sure it's on tight. Flip the bottle upside down and place it in a cup.The cup will catch any leaks and will hold the bottle in place upside down.
- Put the soda in the cup in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
- To assemble the drink, pour the tea into a cup with ice. Squeeze fresh lemon juice on top.
Notes
Here are 2 more soda + tea combinations that worked really well together:
Ginger Ale + Hibiscus Tea: Put 2 hibiscus tea bags into a bottle of ginger ale. Place it in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours. Remove tea bags and pour the drink into a cup with ice. This was SO GOOD.
Sprite + Earl Grey: Put 2 Earl Grey tea bags into a bottle of Sprite. Place it in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours. Remove tea bags and pour the drink into a cup with ice. This has a citrus flavor from the bergamot so no need to add lemon juice.
Sprite + Earl Grey: Put 2 Earl Grey tea bags into a bottle of Sprite. Place it in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours. Remove tea bags and pour the drink into a cup with ice. This has a citrus flavor from the bergamot so no need to add lemon juice.
