How to make Nestea at home in a few steps
To make homemade Nestea, you need just a few ingredients that you probably already have at home or at the local supermarket nextdoor. It's easy to prepare and takes no time at all. Just let it chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
Ingredients for Homemade Nestea Original Flavor
- 1,5 litres of water
- 6 black tea bags
- 120 g sugar (you can adjust to taste or use sweetener of your choice)
- 1 lemon (or more, if you prefer a more citrus flavor)
- Ice to taste and lemon to decorate

💡 Trick: Use good quality black tea for a more authentic flavor, and avoid over-steeping to prevent bitterness.
How to make homemade Nestea just like the canned one
Step 1 – Prepare the tea
Heat the water to a boil and turn off the heat. Add the black tea bags and let it steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on the strength you prefer. I usually let it steep for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags to avoid a strong flavor.
Step 2 – Sweeten and flavor
While the tea is still hot, add the sugar and stir until completely dissolved. Add the lemon juice and mix well.
Step 3 – Chill and serve with ice
Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Serve with plenty of ice and enjoy your homemade Nestea. Add lemon slices for garnish.
Tips for a perfect homemade Nestea
- More authentic flavor: use Ceylon black tea.
- Sugar free: replace sugar with stevia, erythritol or agave syrup.
- Bubbly version: add sparkling water just before serving.
- Extra citrus: add lemon zest along with the juice for a more intense aroma.
