Orange-Mint Iced Tea
Iced tea is a classic refreshing beverage that gained worldwide popularity in the 19th century. The first documented iced tea recipe appeared in the United States in the late 1800s, and countless variations have been created since. The combination of orange and mint gives the drink a unique, citrusy-fresh flavor that is perfect for summer days. Imagine sipping a glass of cold iced tea on the terrace on a hot afternoon, while the aroma of orange and mint refreshes you. For an even more cooling effect, try it with extra ice cubes or a little lemon juice!
