US celebrates National Iced Tea Month

May 31st, 2011

 Every year, the US tea aficionados celebrate the National Iced Tea Month in June. The country consumed more than 65 billion servings of tea, or over 3 billion gallons, in 2010. Of that, approximately 85% in form of iced tea, which is a hydrating alternative to sugary beverages like soda and may help boost weight loss efforts. According to a recent study, drinking 2 cups of tea daily is associated with a lower percentage of body fat and weight control. Iced tea also remains a great tasting beverage and is virtually calorie-free and contains no sodium, fat, carbonation, or sugar. 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend eating a diet with less sugar and have singled out tea as the beverage of choice.
