Bring 8 cups of water to a gentle boil in a medium-sized pot.
Turn off the heat and add 4 green tea bags to the hot water. Let the tea steep for 5 minutes.
Remove the tea bags without squeezing them to avoid bitterness. Discard the tea bags.
Stir in 0.25 teaspoons of baking soda to the warm tea. This will help smooth out any astringency from the green tea.
Mix in 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar substitute until fully dissolved.
Add 1 tablespoon of orange juice, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, and 0.5 teaspoons of lime juice to the tea. Stir well to combine.
Let the tea cool completely at room temperature and then transfer it to a pitcher.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
Serve over ice and enjoy your homemade Lipton Diet Green Tea with Citrus!
