Weights are estimates. Together, the ingredients weigh about 560 g before cooking, which is about 280 g per serving.
Steps
Open the 500ml bottle of Sprite and take a small sip or pour a little out to create enough headspace for the tea bags.
Insert two black tea bags directly into the bottle, leaving the strings hanging out or tucking them in before closing the lid tightly.
Place the bottle in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. For better infusion, turn the bottle upside down or let it sit for 2-3 hours until the liquid turns a deep tea-brown color.
Optional: Prepare a glass by squeezing in fresh lemon juice and adding ice cubes and a lemon slice.
Pour the chilled tea-infused Sprite into the prepared glass and serve immediately.
Notes
For a more intense tea flavor, you can let the bottle infuse in the refrigerator overnight. You can also substitute Sprite Zero if you prefer a sugar-free version.
