Sweetened iced tea is a refreshing beverage made by brewing tea leaves, typically black tea, and adding sugar or other sweeteners. Commonly served over ice, it originates from the Southern United States, where it has become a staple of American cuisine, especially during warm weather. While hydrating and providing antioxidants from the tea, its nutritional value varies depending on the amount of sugar used. Sweetened iced tea can be high in added sugars, contributing to increased calorie intake and potential health risks like weight gain and blood sugar spikes if consumed excessively. Unsweetened or lightly sweetened versions are healthier options. Some variations may include lemon or fruit flavors, enhancing both taste and vitamin content. Moderation is key to enjoying sweetened iced tea as part of a balanced diet.
