Iced tea is a soft drink. According to a traditional recipe, this is a tea infusion made from black tea with lemon juice and sugar. Other variations are prepared with green, fruit or herbal tea or combinations of these teas. Iced tea can be bought ready-made or you can simply prepare it fresh yourself, for example with our peach iced tea recipe.
