Iced Tea Day
With the first day of summer quickly approaching, what better reason to celebrate than Iced Tea Day. With so many flavors to choose from, this refreshing beverage has been a long time summer favorite.
It is believed that tea was first served cold during the 19th century and was often mixed with other beverages. Its popularity grew very quickly when it started being sold at public events and world fairs.
Sweetened or unsweetened, flavored or unflavored, celebrate Iced Tea Day with a nice tall glass of your favorite iced tea!
