What is National Iced Tea Day?
Every year, National Iced Tea Day, on June 10th, honors one of summer's favorite drinks. Many people love and enjoy iced tea by the glass full all summer long, whether you like sweetened or unsweetened, with or without lemon.

Making your own iced tea is as simple as adding a hint of flavor. Make your iced tea your way, whether you add a squeeze of lemon or the juice of raspberries, lime, passion fruit, strawberry, or cherry.
Iced tea recipes have been found dating back to the 1870s. Both the Buckeye Cookbook, published in 1876, and Housekeeping in Old Virginia, published in 1877, both include iced tea recipes. Iced tea first appeared in the United States in the 1860s and became popular in the 1870s, according to it. During that time, hotels served iced tea on their menus and railroad stations sold the beverage as well. The beverage was introduced at the World's Fair in St. Louis in 1904, causing its fame to soar.
