National Iced Tea Day

National Iced Tea Day is celebrated on June 10th every year, and it's a day to rejoice for tea lovers around the world. The history of iced tea dates back to the 19th century when tea was first served over ice in the United States. It's believed that Robert W. Johnson, a tea merchant from New York, accidentally created iced tea in the 1800s when he left a glass of hot tea in his icehouse, causing it to cool and become refreshing. Since then, iced tea has become a popular summer drink, perfect for hot days and outdoor gatherings.

You can make classic sweet tea by brewing black tea with sugar and ice, or experiment with herbal teas like peach or berry flavors.
