Iced tea (sometimes known as ice tea) is a form of cold tea, often served in a glass with ice. It may or may not be sweetened. Iced tea is also a popular packaged drink. It can be mixed with flavored syrup, with common flavors including lemon, peach, raspberry, lime, passion fruit, and cherry. While most iced teas get their flavor from tea leaves (Camellia sinensis), other herb-infused beverages are also sometimes served cold and referred to as iced tea. At the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904, Richard Blechyden, an Englishman, found no takers for hot tea on a veryhot day. So he served the tea cold and iced tea was born!
