6 Iced Tea Recipes for National Iced Tea Day
There’s no better way to quench your thirst on a hot day than by drinking a tall glass of iced tea.
And, there's no better day to enjoy iced tea than today: National Iced Tea Day.
Low in calories, but packed with flavor—and often fruit and herbs—iced tea is a warm-weather favorite.
Tea has natural antioxidants that may help protect against cancers, quicken your metabolism, soothe digestive issues, and boost your immunity. (For a beauty treat, save leftover tea bags for a DIY facial treatment. Green tea in particular is loaded with anti-inflammatory compounds and tannins that can help reduce puffiness.)
