About Family-Size Drink

The Family-Size Drink costs $4.99 and holds enough to serve a table from one container rather than buying four separate cups. It is the drink equivalent of the Family Fry Box at $12.69.

For takeout family orders it is the more economical choice and it produces less packaging. Because it is shared and portioned at home, calorie content depends entirely on the flavor chosen and how much each person pours.

How to Make Family-Size Drink at Home?

Batch drinks for a family need to be made stronger than you think, because ice in individual glasses will dilute them.

Prep 15 minCook 5 minEasy8 servings

Ingredients

8 bags black tea
8 cups water
3/4 cup sugar, optional
1 lemon, sliced

Instructions

0 of 5 steps

Step 1. Bring four cups of water to just below a boil.
Step 2. Steep the tea bags 5 minutes, no longer, or it turns bitter.
Step 3. Stir sugar into the hot tea if you want it sweet, since it will not dissolve cold.
Step 4. Add four cups of cold water and chill fully.
Step 5. Serve from a pitcher over ice with lemon slices.

Tips

Never boil tea bags. Just under boiling for exactly five minutes.
Sweeten while hot or the sugar sinks to the bottom.
Make it stronger than you want, since the ice will dilute it.

Variations

Half tea, half lemonade for a batch Arnold Palmer.
Add peach slices to the pitcher and let it infuse.
Mint sprigs steeped with the tea bags.

Serving Ideas

Ordered alongside a Family Fry Box and a 10 Whataburger Box at $53.99 it covers a full family meal.
