What is the recommended brewing time and temperature for Lipton's teas?

When it comes to brewing Lipton's teas, the recommended brewing times and temperatures can vary depending on the type of tea being prepared. Generally, for black teas, Lipton suggests using water that is boiling, around 200 to 212 degrees Fahrenheit. The ideal brewing time for black teas is typically between three to five minutes, depending on personal taste preference. For green teas, the ideal water temperature should be a bit cooler, usually around 175 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit. The brewing time for green tea is generally shorter, ranging from two to three minutes, to prevent any bitterness. As for herbal teas, they often require boiling water as well, and brewing time can extend from five to seven minutes to properly extract the flavor and beneficial properties. It is always good to keep in mind that steeping longer than the recommended times can lead to a stronger taste and, in some cases, an astringency that may not be desirable. It may be useful to refer to the specific tea packaging or the current Lipton website for any particular recommendations tailored to specific blends or varieties.
