Nothing is more refreshing on a hot summer day than a nice cold glass of Low-Carb Iced Tea. I like to incorporate the flavors of summer into my tea and my favorite is Sugar-Free Peach Iced Tea. Of course, if peach isn't your thing you can use your favorite fruit flavor. I suggest making this tea the night before so you give the flavors time to marry.
