Orange iced tea is a refreshing drink with a bright citrus aroma and subtle bergamot notes from Earl Grey tea. Historically, iced tea emerged in hot countries as a way to quench thirst, and the addition of orange juice gives it a sunny mood. The drink has a harmonious taste: the bitterness of the tea is gently softened by the sweetness of the orange and light sugary sweetness. It is perfect for summer picnics, cozy gatherings on the porch, or simply as a refreshing sip on a hot day. Served with ice and garnished with orange slices, it creates a vibrant and appealing look. Orange iced tea is not just a drink but a true gastronomic delight that awakens the senses and brings pleasure.
