Okay, so I wanted to figure out what’s actually in Brisk Iced Tea. You know, the stuff you grab from the convenience store when it’s hot out? I was just curious, so I did a little experiment.
Getting Started
First, I grabbed a can of Brisk from the store. Nothing fancy, just the regular lemon flavor. I poured it into a glass and just stared at it for a bit. It looked like, well, iced tea.
Taking a Closer Look
Next, I wanted to see what would happen if I let the water evaporate. My thinking was, if I let the water disappear, I’d be left with whatever else is in there. So, I poured the tea into a shallow dish and just left it out on the counter.
Waiting Game
This part took a while. I mean, days. I’d check on it every now and then, and slowly but surely, the liquid level started going down. It was like watching paint dry, but way more sugary, probably.
The Results
- Sticky Stuff: After all the water was gone, I was left with this sticky, brownish residue. It definitely wasn’t just tea leaves, that’s for sure. I’m guessing this was mostly sugar, maybe some citric acid, and whatever else they use for flavoring.
- Not Much Else: Honestly, there wasn’t a whole lot left behind. It was mostly just that sticky stuff. Made me think about how much sugar is actually in one of these drinks.
My Thoughts
It was a pretty simple experiment, but it was kind of interesting to see what Brisk is made of. I mean, I knew it wasn’t just water and tea leaves, but seeing that sticky residue really drove it home. It tasted like lemon and it had a lot of sugar for sure. I guess it makes sense, it’s a sweet drink, after all. I should buy different flavors next time. Anyway, that’s it. Just thought I’d share my little iced tea adventure.
