JUNE 15, 2015 NATIONAL ICED TEA DAY!!!

It's NATIONAL ICED TEA DAY!!!
 
Found this on line about today:
There's nothing better than kicking back on a hot summer day with a glass of iced tea in hand. Whether you like your drink sweet or unsweetened, from the store or homemade, take some time Wednesday to celebrate National Iced Tea Day.
Iced tea has been served for centuries, first containing alcohol and being called "punches" in the 1800s, NPR reported. The nonalcoholic iced tea trend started around 1904, when it was popularized at the World's Fair in St. Louis. Over time, due to high prices and scant availability, iced green teas lost their following. By the end of World War II in 1945, iced black tea reigned supreme.
Now, on any day, at least half of the United States drinks tea, according to the Tea Association of the U.S.A. Inc. About 85 percent of all tea Americans drink is iced.

Take today to honor the beverage you're sure to be sipping all summer. You can grab a glass for free or cheap with one of these deals:

If you're near the Charlotte Douglas International Airport in North Carolina, stop by the main atrium to get a free cup of sweet or unsweet iced tea.

I stopped in at Buelhers before work and picked up some tea for the day.  First was Smith's Peach Iced Tea.  I like to drink this watered down with about a 1/4 cup of water in the glass.  It is not as sweet that way and it makes the tea last longer.

Next I picked up this tea, that was on sale for $1.00.  It is my friend Melanie's favorite tea.

Then I see Snapple is on sale, so I grab that too.

 
8am and I am ready for my day!!!
