Iced Black Tea: A Refreshing Delight in the USA

Iced black tea is a beloved summer beverage in the United States, and for good reason! It's sweet, refreshing, and packed with flavor.

How it's made:

Tea leaves (usually Assam or Ceylon) are steeped in hot water to extract the flavor and caffeine.

The tea is then chilled and sweetened to taste.

Some restaurants also add tapioca pearls (boba) or fruit flavors to create different variations.
