Iced Tea is the most consumed Tea in North America. 80% of all Tea consumed in the United states is iced. To get full benefits of taste and health please steep it hot first then Dress it up and enjoy. For diversity of taste we recommend blending the steeped tea with sugar free Seven-up or gingerale for a Tea Cocktail... non-alcoholic and tasty! With all the climate change going on we all can have a great Iced Tea experience all year long.
