National Iced Tea Day 

When the weather gets too warm for hot tea, just ice it! Mint tea, fruity teas, even the Southern classic sweet tea will all refresh you on a warm and sunny day.

Drinks are such a key part of modern culture that they are so much than just a necessity for the body. We drink water to survive, we drink coffee to stay alert, we sip cocktails to feel refreshed and get in the mood, and we drink soda to relax and unwind. Different drinks feed into different moods and give us new and unique experiences that play a big role in our lives, both socially and at home. So, it is important to make sure you sample as many different beverages as you can.

When it comes to quenching thirst and being refreshed on a hot summer’s day, there are a lot of things you can choose from. Many will crack open a beer or a bottle of wine, but how about sampling some gorgeous iced tea. There are a lot of things you need to keep in mind when it comes to trying this delicious beverage. In fact, there is even an National Iced Tea Day, solely dedicated to the discovery and enjoyment of all things iced tea related; try to ensure you make the most of this as much as you can right now.

On a hot summer day, there’s nothing that quenches the thirst and fosters relaxation quite as much as a frosty cold glass of iced tea. While hot tea is delicious and certainly an excellent beverage for most situations, it’s purely inappropriate for picnics, and it only stays hot so long. Instead, it is necessary to branch out to the more versatile and refreshing alternatives. Sweet tea is one of the most popular beverages in the deep South, but it’s just one example of the variety that can be iced tea.

History of National Iced Tea Day

While recipes for Iced Tea go back as far as the 1870’s, it wasn’t until 1904 that it exploded in popularity. This was due in no small part to the World’s Fair and the heat of the summer that was baking it. Iced Tea was being served, and the fair goers were drinking it en masse, and in almost no time at all, it was being served in tall glasses so well known for this purpose that they were called iced-tea glasses. You know a drink has truly come into its own when special utensils are made for its preparation, and it wasn’t just the glasses, iced-tea spoons and lemon forks were developed to make its consumption both easier and more satisfying.

Iced Tea is typically made from the tea plant, but just like with hot teas, it can be made with just about anything, and herbal teas are often a popular choice for the cool drink. Imagine the parade of flavors available to you, a cool mint tea stirred with a bit of lime, or if you’re in India you may as well do as the locals do and enjoy your tea with a bit of ginger. Our personal favorite? Peach Iced Tea, it’s delightful.

National Iced Tea Day exists to pay homage to the popular and delicious beverage, and it’s something more of us should get involved with. This is a drink that is growing in popularity, and there is a growing consumer base for it, both in the United States and abroad. This is why manufacturers continue to come up with different and interesting flavors of iced tea that you can choose from moving forward.

• @natdaycal I recall being about 7 or 8 years old, and watching a movie on TV. That movie was, The Thing From Another World, and . . . it scared that kid good! To this day, horror flicks are not my go-to choice for movie watching, I typically choose the comedy genre. Looking over the list of National Days, tomorrow is going to be a wonderful day to celebrate! #NationalMovieNight #NationalIcedTeaDay #NationalEggRollDay #HerbsAndSpicesDay #BlackCowDay #BallpointPenDay Did you know tomorrow never comes?

National Iced Tea Day

National Iced Tea Day celebrates the refreshing summer-friendly drink, which makes up about 85% of tea consumed in the United States. People first started drinking iced tea in the United States around the 1860’s, and the first recipes for it were printed in cookbooks in the 1870’s. The growth of iced tea can partly be attributed to the availability of ice, which began being shipped from the northern states to southern states and the Caribbean at the beginning of that century. But, the primary impetus for the expanded popularity of the drink can be credited to Richard Blechynden, who served it at the World’s Fair in St. Louis in 1904, which led to many people bringing it to all parts of the country. Prohibition, which lasted from 1920 to 1933, also helped keep iced tea drinking popular. Black iced tea is the most common, but many types of tea leaves can be used. The tea can be sweetened or unsweetened, and lemons, limes and herbs can be added. There are many possible health benefits of drinking tea, and it contains flavonoids that quite possibly have antioxidant properties. But, if the tea is bottled with high amounts of sugar or high fructose corn syrup, the health benefits may be partly neutralized. Home-brewed tea may be the most healthy, as the brewer knows exactly what’s in it.  

How to Observe

Celebrate the day by drinking iced tea! Try one or many different kinds. You can make your own. You could even try a Southern Cooking recipe from 1928, or make sun tea. Check around at restaurants and coffee shops for specials on tea, as deals and free tea have been offered at many establishments on National Iced Tea Day in the past. You many want to try some of the teas that have won the Iced Tea Competition. If you want to add a little extra punch to the fun you could make yourself a Long Island Iced Tea, but that really doesn’t have tea in it!

National Iced Tea Day! Cookbooks dating from the early 19th century indicate Americans have been drinking iced tea since that time. However, the beverage became generally popular after Richard Blechynden of the India Tea Commission offered free sample to attendees of the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair. New York City tea importer Thomas Sullivan became annoyed at the high cost of the tin boxes he used to send tea samples to customers. So, in 1904 he switched to small cloth bags. One recipient brewed a pot of tea by simply pouring hot water over the bag. Tea is a hydrating alternative to sugary beverages. Use to replace things like soda. Tea might even help boost weight loss efforts, along with a healthy diet and plenty of exercise. Recent studies on green tea shows that “routine tea consumption of an average of about two cups a day is associated with a lower percentage of body fat and weight control” than non-tea drinkers. Approximately 80 percent of the tea served in the US today is iced tea. #NationalIcedTeaDay #IcedTea🧋#Food #FoodSolutions #FoodService #FoodServiceSolutions #FoodSales #WeKnowFood #FoodConsultant #FoodDude #FoodOfTheDay #DrinkOfTheDay #NobertSales @NobertSales @TeaCouncil (at Germantown, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeoT5qjAUBb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
