Iced Tea 1 article

Cold serving temperature defines iced tea, whether the drink begins as hot-brewed tea chilled over ice or as a cold-brewed preparation. Black and green teas are common bases, while bottled ready-to-drink versions may be unsweetened, lightly sweetened or heavily sweetened. True-tea iced drinks still contain naturally occurring caffeine unless decaffeinated. The cold format does not define the nutrition profile, so added sugar, serving size and whether the beverage is freshly brewed or commercially bottled are the main practical differences.
