What you need
Ingredients for the 7 Brew Paris Tea Recipe
Here is everything you need for this 7 Brew Paris Tea recipe. It makes one 16-ounce drink, which is close to a 7 Brew Small. Use coffee-shop style syrups and sauces, the same kind sold for lattes and Italian sodas. A pump from a store syrup bottle is about 1/4 ounce, and a tablespoon is about 1/2 ounce. Change the amounts after your first try to match your taste.
- Brewed tea: 1 cup (8 oz), chilled (brew strong, then cool)
- Pineapple syrup: 1/4 oz (1/2 tbsp) (for the Island Dream mix)
- Coconut syrup: 1/4 oz (1/2 tbsp) (tropical note)
- Vanilla syrup: 1/4 oz (1/2 tbsp) (softens the tea)
- Ice: 1 to 1 1/2 cups (crushed or nugget ice works best)
Tip: Use 2 tea bags for one drink. Strong tea keeps its flavor even after the ice melts.

How to Make a 7 Brew Paris Tea at Home
Iced tea drinks are simple to make at home. Brew the tea strong, because the ice will water it down. Let it cool, then mix in the syrups. Pour it over ice and stir. Plan about ten minutes, including cooling time.
- Brew the tea: Steep 2 tea bags in 1 cup of hot water for 4 to 5 minutes.
- Cool it down: Remove the bags and let the tea cool, or chill it in the fridge.
- Add the flavors: Stir in the pineapple syrup, coconut syrup and vanilla syrup.
- Pour over ice: Fill a 16 oz cup with ice, pour in the tea and stir.
Pro tips for the best taste
- Use cold ingredients so the ice melts slowly.
- Measure syrups the first time, then adjust to taste.
- Stir from the bottom, because syrup sinks.
- Store syrups in a cool, dark spot so they last.
Do not steep black tea longer than five minutes, or it can taste bitter. Let it cool before you add ice. For a creamy tea, add two tablespoons of half-and-half. Swap the Island Dream syrups for mango or raspberry to try other 7 Brew mixes. A lemon wedge adds a fresh finish.
