How to store this Keto citrus iced tea?
To store this Keto citrus iced tea, transfer it to an airtight jar or container and refrigerate it for up to 48 hours. To store it for longer, freeze the tea in an airtight container for up to 1 month. Before serving, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight, give it a stir, and serve cold. It is important to note that the longer the tea sits, the more it may oxidize and lose its flavor. So, making the tea fresh each time is recommended to ensure the best taste and quality.

Yes. Some variations you can try include adding fresh mint or basil for a refreshing twist or using different types of tea, like green or herbal tea. Additionally, experiment with other citrus fruits like lime or orange to change up the flavor profile. Another fun variation is to add a splash of sparkling water or unsweetened coconut milk for an added texture.
Can you drink iced tea on a Keto diet?
Ice tea can be a great drink option for those following a Keto diet. Most variations of tea, such as black, green, or herbal tea, contain little to no carbs and can be enjoyed as a hydrating beverage. However, it is important to avoid sweetened ice teas that contain added sugars. Instead, opt for unsweetened tea and add a Keto-friendly sweetener like stevia or allulose.
