How Does Lipton Evening Infusion Compare to:

• Twinings Liquorice and Peppermint: Lipton provides a more syrupy mouthfeel and the advantage of the pyramid bag for faster infusion.
• Pukka Peppermint and Licorice: Both are high quality, but Lipton is often more accessible for everyday use while maintaining a very high liquorice content.

Brewing The Perfect Cup of Lipton Evening Infusion, 20 Tea Bags 32g

• Water temperature: 100°C, just boiled water is essential for full extraction of theaflavins and thearubigins.
• Measure: One bag per 200ml of water for a standard cup; use 2 bags in 300ml if you want builder strength.
• Steep: 3 to 5 minutes; longer for a stronger, milkier cup, shorter for a lighter pour.

• Caffeine: naturally caffeine free.
