Iced tea is a refreshing beverage typically made by brewing tea leaves (black, green, or herbal varieties) and chilling the liquid over ice. Originating in the United States in the late 19th century, it has become a popular drink worldwide, often enjoyed plain or flavored with lemon, fruit, or sweeteners. Traditional iced tea is calorie-free when unsweetened, making it a hydrating and guilt-free choice. Tea is rich in antioxidants, such as polyphenols, which promote heart health and may reduce inflammation. However, pre-packaged or sweetened iced teas often contain added sugars, which can contribute to excess calorie consumption and diminished health benefits. Green iced tea is particularly prized for its higher antioxidant content, while herbal versions offer caffeine-free alternatives. To maximize its nutritional value, opt for unsweetened or homemade iced tea and consider adding natural flavors like fresh fruit or herbs.
