June 10: Cool Down with Refreshing Ice Tea Recipes for Today's National Ice Tea Day!
National Ice Tea Day (not to be confused with celebrations of the famous rapper of the same name) helps us to appreciate the refreshing taste of a cooling beverage on a hot day. Usually, concentrated syrup is added to give the tea a fruity twist. Popular versions include lemon, mango, and peach, with berries also being used in some countries.
An interesting fact in the U.S. is how ice tea is more popular than hot tea. Out of every 100 of these caffeinated beverages consumed, 85 of them are iced. The popularity of ice tea has gained momentum since recipes first began to surface during the late 1800s.
Thailand, Japan, and China who are known tea enthusiasts, also offer their own exotic interpretations of the beverage.
There are quite a lot of different tea brands in tea stores but if you're looking for something a little different, why not try these online food recipes from our Dishfolio food bloggers?
