Classic summer iced tea

Here we go again! We’re back in the summer months—and that means warmer weather and colder tea.

Roughly 80 percent of Americans take their tea iced and sweetened, while in Britain, tea is still most often enjoyed hot. This difference likely comes down to both tradition and climate, as American summers tend to be much hotter and more humid.

One of the most popular styles is

sweet iced tea
, especially in the Southern United States, though it has spread in popularity across the country.

Other favorite variations include iced tea flavored with lemon, peach, or raspberry for a refreshing twist.

In the coming weeks, I’ll show you how to take your iced tea to the next level. There’s much more to it than simply chilling a basic brew!

You’ll discover new brewing techniques, creative flavor combinations, and even entirely new ways to enjoy tea in the summer heat.

This June is shaping up to be perfect for iced tea lovers—stay tuned!

And don’t forget to celebrate
