I’ll never forget the first time I had sweet tea. Years ago on a hot summer day in San Antonio, I decided I would give in to the hype and try what everyone was constantly talking about. That first sip from the straw and I was hooked. It was like liquid sugar. It was amazing! Over time I came to realize unsweet was probably the safer way to go if I was going to drink it every day. But wow, that was good stuff!

On National Iced Tea Day there are several places around town to get free or discounted drinks. If you prefer yours sweet, unsweet, or one of the wild mango styles, enjoy it. Its an easy way to stay cool on a hot Texas day.
