It just wouldn’t be summer without a thirst quenching glass of iced tea. 80% of all tea consumed in the USA are iced; the majority of these being sold during the summer months.
Drinking iced tea is a tasty way to keep cool and hydrated during the heat of the summer. It may also be more than a thirst quencher, especially among those looking for a refreshing antioxidant boost.
Research suggests a strong connection between drinking tea regularly and potential health benefits. These same studies show that freshly brewed iced tea contains the highest levels of antioxidants. No matter how you drink it - iced or hot, toast your health this June with a tall class of refreshing iced tea.
ICED TEA ETIQUETTE The iced tea spoon has a long handle, and after being used is laid on the small service plate or coaster which should be placed under the iced beverage glass. However, when no such plate or coaster has been provided, and if this is not a luncheon where you could rest the spoon on the rim of your butter or luncheon plate, as you would with a spoon for a coffee mug, then leave the spoon in the glass and drink with the handle held against the far side with your finger. This is awkward but correct. CLOUDS IN THE GLASS?
