Served cold since the early 1800s, ice tea remains a popular favorite, particularly when served over ice on hot summer days. While the first American iced teas -- predecessors of the boozy Long Island iced tea -- were typically spiked with liquor (and appropriately called "punches"), today they're mostly flavored by a plethora of refreshing pairings. Peruse our recommended recipes below for some summery alternatives to the tired lemon iced tea:
- Thai Lemongrass and Ginger Iced Tea (pictured at left)
- Rooibois Iced Tea
- Black Cherry Green Iced Tea
- Mint and Lime Iced Tea
- Bourbon Mint Tea
- Thai Iced Tea
- Boston Iced Tea with Cranberry
