What is Iced Tea?

Iced tea by American standards refers to a cold beverage served in almost every restaurant. It is made by brewing black tea and water to produce a hot beverage that is then chilled and served with ice. The tea is a medium brown shade with a strong flavor that is mildly sweet, with a hint of tannins.

Bitter

Bitter is one of the five main tastes. It has a sharp and pungent profile. Bitter is a naturally occurring flavor in many foods, including coffee, chocolate, bitter melon, and chicory. Bitter is used sparingly to accentuate the flavors around it and can be mellowed by other tastes in both savory and sweet dishes.

tea

Tea can be made from herbs, roots and leaves and even fruits. Caffeinated tea like black, green and white tea all come from one plant.
