Freshly brewed iced tea questions?
I love iced tea right now, I just got the Hamilton Beach Iced Tea Maker. My questions are, how long can I store the tea in the fridge after making it? Do the caffeine and benefits (antioxidants, polyphenols) stay potent and for how long? Also, many questions on here are about iced tea going cloudy, does that alter the taste or is it just undesirable because of the appearance? One more, is it best to add lemon and Splenda straight to the pitcher or leave it plain and just add to each glass?
I have been drinking & loving ice tea for over forty years! I can only keep tea in the fridge for 2 or 3 days, thats a gallon of tea which my family won’t let last any longer. The caffeine stays potent but I don’t know about the benefis. And I haven’t had problems w/cloudy tea. Since you use Splenda, as my family & I also do~I make a gallon of unsweet tea & add the Splenda to each glass. Personally, I think that is the best way to do it plus if you have company that prefers sugar~they can sweeten their own glass. Hope this helps you! Have a good day!!!
