I like to throw a bag and 4 cups of water in my Instant Pot for 4 minutes. Makes great tea concentrate. I use the concentrate and half & half for a great milk tea without all the sugar and carbs, minus the boba. My go to treat.

I don't use sweetener but you could use anything really. My wife uses a bit of honey. Or you can use regular milk for a slightly sweeter flavor but less creamy, compared to half&half.
You'll need to adjust the tea to cream/milk ratio depending on what you use.
So, if you use a 1-gallon tea bag to make a 4-cup concentrate, you end up with 1 quart of concentrate, correct? Then, if one just wanted regular strength tea, they'd need to use a 1 to 3 mix (eg, 1 quart concentrate + 3 quarts water = 1 gallon of regular strength tea), I think?
What you describe, 6 parts concentrate + 1 part half & half, is twice the normal strength, right? Is that typical? Please excuse my cluelessness, I'm a newbie! Thanks again!!

I guess the only tip was to use a pressure cooker to make a tea concentrate.
The main reason I did it was to make a formula where the tea didn't taste so watered down. It's also a much more affordable option than to go to a boba place all the time.

Please adjust this to your preference. I like a strong tea flavor as that is, to me, a close representation of what you'd get at a boba shop without all the sugar.

I smelled an odd perfume type of smell with the Lipton gallon size bags from Amazon.
It could be some warehouse use some spray and others don't
I am very skeptical that the bag has enough tea for an actual gallon, but I really, REALLY hope it does, because that would be an amazing deal! I could only get one box, but I hope the price holds out a few more days so I can get more.

Thanks for turning me on to this idea, my apologies for the initial skepticism!
