For less bitter tea, steep it for a shorter time. With boiling water, five minutes is enough for a full and mild flavor. The longer the leaves steep, the more tannins get released, which leads to a slightly darker color but significantly more bitterness. Play around with the time you steep to get the flavor you're looking for. Thanks for the recipie 🍵
I am an older Southern gal who made sweet tea by the gallon everyday when my boys were teens and they played sports...sometimes 2 gallons a day if they brought friends home. I was taught to put 2 cups of sugar to a gallon with a pinch of baking soda for clarity. My sons are in their 40's and opened a European style tea shop 14 years ago and I learned that the reason we added so much sugar in the South was because the poorest grade of tea leaves were placed in bags and then passed through several middle men and arrived in warehouses where they may sit for a few years. We needed the sugar for taste. Now that my sons introduced our family to whole leaf teas for health as well as taste, I rarely use sweetener of any kind. With names like Japanese Gojiberry, Cinnamon Scented Oolong, Cranberry Mango, Honeysuckle and White Peach, etc. You do not need it. Leaves are fresh and minimally processed. .003 carbs even with teas with air dried fruit. My doctor preaches water every visit and I had trouble until I started putting a teaspoon of tea in it to flavor and it is great. I ditched all the flavored waters. Their shop has over 350 teas, mostly organic. I bet you have a tea shop in your area as well...try it sometimes and you may change your mind.
Ok, I’m a lifelong sweet tea-fficianado!! This makes me happy!! Born, raised, and still living in Texas this has always been a staple in my family. I lived in California for a hot minute 40 years ago and was amazed to find everyone else didn’t keep a pitcher in their fridge!
Hey, I love learning new things. I am a PHP Developer and love to learn new technologies, but ever since I found your videos - I am hooked on your stuff. I love watching you come up with stuff. You very soothing. Thank for your efforts.
I just found you through the twins. I’m so excited to make your flour blend to makes the brownies and bread. Thank you for all your great info and experimentation.
Hi, Victoria, I've found yur channel and LOVE, LOVE it and all your hard work getting the right blend for all your recipes!!! I've watched this video on Sweet Tea a couple of times and read the transcript......start with getting WATER boiling before adding the tea bag. Then to make the tea not so bitter, is to let the TEA boil BEFORE putting the tea bag in the tea?? Now that it reached a boil and we're gonna put the tea back in.... I'm thinking boil the water then add the tea bag and let it steep for 15-30 minutes, than add it to the sweetened water. Is that right? If I'm not understanding this , please tell me know. Again, I Love your channel and recipes.❣
I think what everyone wants to know, is how much water was in the bowl that you dissolved the allulose in? You said 2 liters were in the kettle to boil the tea with. So how much water does it take to dissolve the allulose?
In the video at the end, it looked like the pitcher was a gallon sized pitcher that appeared to be half full of the water/allulose mixture. Then Victoria poured the 2 liters of tea into the pitcher which filled it up. So I would surmise the amount of water needed to dissolve the allulose would be 2 liters. 4 liters is approx 1 gallon or 4 quarts.
Is the 'allulose sweetened water' the same as your keto corn syrup? I'm not sure I heard how much water you use to make the sweetened water with the 1 cup allulose. So glad I found your channel mentioned in Keto Twins video.
Yes an no ha. The liquid allulose I buy on Amazon I don’t make it but it’s a thick mixture of liquid allulose that u can use for corn syrup it’s wonderful! The tea I just add allulose in a cup it looks like sugar it’s granular
@@victoriasketokitchen Sorry, one last question... do you add the allulose to the water before or after brewing with the tea bag? You've probably realized I'm not from the South.
My husband and I love tea! And, I have struggled with this for about 6 yrs on keto. So, we just sweeten our individual glasses with a keto sweetener. However, I was going to try this recipe and purchase through the link provided the Splenda allulose product. It says it has 8 carbs for 2 teaspoons. I’m not sure I understand how this is keto. I don’t know the carb value for each glass in a gallon, but isn’t this high? I really want to try this, so thank you for sharing.
Erythritol is the same way it’s the FDA regulations. You have to put the carbs count even though it’s empty carb. Look on the back of a bag of erythritol same thing.
Allulose is not sugar it’s a keto sweetener. You can but it organic and non gmo if quality matters to you. It does not effect blood sugar so it’s excellent for a keto diet or a diabetic.
Have you made tea with the liquid allulose, I bought some and can’t remember why! Lol saw on someone’s channel put forgot to write down what recipe it was for. 🤦♀️
Sounds like me, several keto products that I'm always ordering. I receive it then forget about it, find it then can't remember what recipe made me have to have it 🤦🏾♀️. Needless to say, I could probably open a small keto grocery store 🤣.

My husband loves tea. I'll try this. Thanks
God bless you and your family
I love this recipe thank you it came out awesome
I like to add a pinch of Baking Soda to the steeping tea to make it darker and stronger. :)
I just found you through the twins. I’m so excited to make your flour blend to makes the brownies and bread. Thank you for all your great info and experimentation.
We use munk fruit and it only takes 1 tablespoon

Allulose dissolves like sugar there are no problems with it dissolving
In the video at the end, it looked like the pitcher was a gallon sized pitcher that appeared to be half full of the water/allulose mixture. Then Victoria poured the 2 liters of tea into the pitcher which filled it up. So I would surmise the amount of water needed to dissolve the allulose would be 2 liters. 4 liters is approx 1 gallon or 4 quarts.
So, two liters of boiling water to brew the tea. How much room temp water to dissolve the allulose?
Equal parts

@@sherrygodward lol that’s fine! I prefer it added to the tea once cooled off a bit just not right after it’s boiled

@@victoriasketokitchen oh, ok. Thank you for that information
Hmm has anyone tried this with stevia or some other sweetener? Allulose is banned up north
How much water did you have in the pitcher before adding the allulose?
1/2 gallon
How much sugar is Allolose?
Allulose is not sugar it’s a keto sweetener. You can but it organic and non gmo if quality matters to you. It does not effect blood sugar so it’s excellent for a keto diet or a diabetic.
Have you made tea with the liquid allulose, I bought some and can’t remember why! Lol saw on someone’s channel put forgot to write down what recipe it was for. 🤦♀️
No I haven’t but that would cost ALOT more I would think
The liquid allulose was probably for pecan pie
Liquid allulose can be used for Victoria's keto ice cream 🍦
Sounds like me, several keto products that I'm always ordering. I receive it then forget about it, find it then can't remember what recipe made me have to have it 🤦🏾♀️. Needless to say, I could probably open a small keto grocery store 🤣.
You say one cup of value those to the water but you don't say how much room temperature water to put in
I eye ball usually half gallon boiled half gallon room temp
@@victoriasketokitchen I just I balled it like you said it came out great thank you
So you're saying water 'as a drink' has become obsolete now? 😁
Thanks for the recipe
take too much allulose and you will be running to the bathroom
