Iced Tea / Lemonade Batch Calculator
Enter your guest count to see how many quarts of iced tea or lemonade to make and how many batches of a standard pitcher recipe that takes.
How this works
A standard glass of iced tea or lemonade is about 8 fluid ounces, and a typical from-scratch recipe makes one 2-quart pitcher (8 servings). This calculator multiplies your guest count by the standard 8-ounce serving size to find total volume needed, then divides by 2 quarts to tell you how many batches of a standard pitcher recipe to make.
Source: Based on a standard 8-fluid-ounce serving size and a typical 2-quart (8-cup) pitcher recipe as a base batch, per common recipe-card and party-planning conventions.
Frequently asked questions

How many servings does a standard pitcher recipe make?
