Unsweetened Black Iced Tea

Unsweetened iced tea is a refreshing, chilled beverage made from brewed tea that has not been sweetened with any form of sugar or sweetener. It offers the robust flavor of tea without added calories or sugar, making it a healthier alternative to traditional cold drinks, such as soda or sweetened iced teas. To prepare this drink, hot water is poured over tea leaves or tea bags, which are then steeped to attain the desired strength. The tea is cooled to room temperature before being refrigerated or poured over ice. Unsweetened iced tea is often garnished with lemon wedges or a sprig of mint, and it can be enjoyed as a flavorful and hydrating beverage on its own or as an accompaniment to a meal.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Unsweetened Iced Tea expire?
Unopened store-bought unsweetened iced tea can last for around 18-24 months. Once opened, it should be consumed within 7-10 days if kept in the refrigerator. Homemade iced tea, however, should be consumed within two days for best flavor and safety. If frozen, the iced tea will last about 3-4 months, but the flavor may change over time.
How do you tell if Unsweetened Iced Tea is bad?
If your iced tea has gone bad, you'll likely notice a sour smell or taste. The color may also darken over time. If there's any sign of mold, it's essential to discard the entire container, including any undamaged product, as the mold spores can have spread throughout.
Tips for storing Unsweetened Iced Tea to extend shelf life
• Always store unsweetened iced tea in the refrigerator. • If made at home, allow the tea to cool at room temperature before refrigerating to avoid cloudiness. • Use airtight containers to store your iced tea, whether it's homemade or leftover from a larger container. • If freezing, leave some head space in the container for the tea to expand as it freezes. • Try to use good quality tea bags or loose tea for a longer shelf life of iced tea.
