Lipton Tea, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. Truthfully, Lipton Tea has always been a staple in our house. Bill loves tea. I use tea in other delightful drinks (recipe down below!). We always have several boxes on hand.
That is why I was excited to hear that Lipton’s new black and herbal varieties and improved green teas refresh the tea experience with bold and stimulating flavors, such as Enticing Chai, Pure Green, Orange Passionfruit Jasmine and Peach Mango. Lipton’s updated green teas have a light, fresh taste, bright clearer color and delightful aroma. Bold aromas and unique flavors join forces to put a twist on traditional black tea. Real ingredients combine with our best herbal tea blends to awaken the senses. The multi-sensory teas refresh standard tea time, creating an exciting and unique tea-drinking experience. You can check out the full line-up of Lipton Green, Black and Herbal tea flavors here.
Now, Bill drinks tea all day long. He brings it work with with him! He loves a ton of the new flavors (because, yes, we've tried them all). I, on the other hand, like to put a spin on my tea. Tea on its own is delicious. However, tea mixed in another drink is divine. Plus, this recipe is one from Wisconsin where I grew up. It is an old favorite. It makes an amazing slush that all of us adults can enjoy year round! We may have even had some to bring in the new year this year! (I made a double batch of it for a New Year's Eve party. Needless to say, everyone loved it, and it went over really well!)

My father started drinking tea once he retired. He always drinks lipton!
OK I don’t know how you came up with this but I am totally taking it and make it my own. It looks delicious.
I JUST started to be a fan of tea. I was always a coffee drinker. Now I switch between the two.
I enjoy the teas of Lipton. Their teas are bold, refreshing, energizing, and stimulating. They are rich in flavors too.
I am a HUGE tea drinker, and I prefer mine without any add-ons which means no sugar, no milk. I love flavoured green and black teas a lot, my favourites right now are Coconut green tea and Kashmiri khawa (a green tea with cinnamon and saffron among other spices)
I also drink fruit infusions in the evening and before bedtime, this is something you find a lot in central Europe where it is common practice it seems.
I drink tea on a daily basis. Lipton only of course. I serve sweet iced tea with meals and I enjoy my afternoon hot tea time with Lipton herbal teas.
Wow, this has got to be the most creative tea recipe I’ve ever seen! Is it possible to make it without the brandy? I don’t drink, but I really want to try it, lol!
I’m sure you could!
I am a huge fan of green tea. This drink looks so good. I can’t wait to try your rwecipe.
That brandy slush looks incredible! Yum! I am going to try this tonight.
This looks like a delicious recipe to try. I love to drink green tea with a little honey.
I love green tea and actually didn’t know that Lipton made one!! Thanks for the heads up!!
I’m not a big tea drinker. If I do have it, it has to be chamomile. That’s the only one I’ll drink. I love your recipe here though. I may actually like that!
We are avid tea drinkers in our house. We probably go through a gallon a day between my husband & I. The only brand we buy is Lipton! In the summer add a little lemon and mint and make sun tea on our deck!
I prefer hot tea! Green tea is one of my all-time favorites, but I also love trying out different flavors of tea.
This slush recipe sounds super yummy and also a fun spin on tradition tea recipes.
For some reason I am not really a ‘warm beverage’ person I don’t like coffee or tea. Which is odd considering I deal with North East winters, at best I can do Hot Chocolate. The only time I am forced to drink tea is when I am sick. As soon as someone sees me drinking tea they run because they know it means I have a bad cold or the flu. LOL 🙂
This is an interesting way to drink tea. I’ve never been a huge fan of tea, unless it was hot. I’ll have to pass this on to my tea drinking friends.
How neat. I never thought of making a drink like that before with tea. Can’t wait to try this.
It’s my boyfriend who introduced me to drinking tea. He’s Chinese and he drinks tea a lot. I’m excited to try your Brandy Slush – it’s a nice twist to tea.
I don’t think my husband would survive without his Lipton tea, lol! I’m more of a coffee drinker myself!
I like my tea hot! I usually only drink it when I feel really worn down lol Green Lipton tea is always awesome!
I’m a huge tea drinker! I usually just add hot water and call it a day, but your slush looks like a fun party drink. 🙂
Tea is one of the ways I get my boyfriend to drink more water. He loves the fruit flavored tea, and I’m a big fan of green tea.
We drink lots of Lipton Tea here at the cottage. Hope you have a very special Valentine Day and thanks so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
Come Back Soon!

I’m pretty plain with my tea of choice (no milk, no sugar) but this does look tempting!
It is funny that you called it a WI recipe–I am originally from Memphis. I have an old cookbook from a Memphis women’s charitable group with a very similar punch, so I thought it was a southern punch!!!!
I enjoy hot tea a lot. Thanks for linking up.
In the winter I drink a lot of tea. We have a woodstove and when it’s going I alway have a teakettle on top with a pot brewing. I have two types of favourite tea. One is chamomile. I started growing my own two years ago. Once started chamomile grows like crazy, but it takes a lot of plants to get enough to last. The other tea I enjoy is spiced. I use one bag of black tea, one of Constant Comment, and one of orange spice tea. I put them in my teapot with a stick of cinnamon to brew. Then I have plenty to get me through a long winter’s eve. – Margy
This sounds like a wonderful, fun party punch! I can see enjoying this quite a lot this summer! Thanks so much for sharing at Celebrate It! Blog Link Party!
The tea with the juice concentrates sounds really good! Did the brandy separate out when you froze it? Anyway, I Loved it!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful creativity with us at Friday Favorites! I hope you will join us again this week! Hugs- Christine at Must Love Home
