Giveaway: Naturally Refreshing Summer Drinks with 100% Natural Lipton Iced Tea

Nothing says summer like soaking up the sun and sipping a chilled drink. When reaching for that beverage, labels with long lists of ingredients make it difficult to know exactly what quenches your thirst. I recently found myself questioning whether or not a truly natural alternative to water existed at all.

With the new line of 100% Natural Lipton Iced Teas I’ve found a summer drink to lift me out of my taste bud boredom. The simple ingredient list of Lipton tea, real sugar, and natural flavors leave nothing to hide. Without preservatives or artificial flavors and colors, Lipton delivers a new line of teas that stay true to the health and wellness standards that families look for.

The product line includes four natural tea flavors – two current favorites and two innovative originals. Green Tea with Citrus and Iced Tea with Lemon delight, while Green Tea with Passionfruit Mango and Iced Tea with Blueberry Pomegranate bring Lipton to new flavor heights.

Additionally, the company has expanded their diet tea offerings to include Diet Green Tea with Citrus and Diet Green Tea with Watermelon. Both naturally flavored and preservative free diet drinks contain zero calories and loads of flavor.

When in search of a drink this summer, Lipton serves up trustworthy, natural beverages in flavors that remove the need to settle. You no longer need to make the choice between health and flavor – this summer you can have your cake and drink it, too!
