The five calculator inputs were transcribed from the public USDA page on September 6, 2026 with 100 g selected. This historical SR Legacy record describes plain black tea brewed with tap water, not the former ready-to-drink reference or a particular branded blend. USDA lists a cup (8 fl oz) as 237 g for this reference; enter 237 grams to calculate it. This is a source-specific portion, not a universal liquid density. The evidence file is a partial page transcription, not a complete API response.

WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY
- The reference has a small carbohydrate contribution when consumed plain.
- Use the brewed drink’s weight, not the weight of the dry tea leaves.
- A milk tea, chai latte or sweetened bottled tea needs its own nutrition information.
PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS
BREW YOUR TEA
Follow the tea package’s water temperature, amount and steeping directions; strain or remove the leaves before weighing the finished drink.
ADD MILK DELIBERATELY
Measure any milk or cream and calculate it using its own label. The plain-tea reference excludes these additions.
SERVE OVER ICE
Calculate the brewed tea before adding ice, or account for the dilution when calculating the finished drink.
