In 1904 there was a huge event called the St. Louis World's Fair. This consisted of many entrepreneurs from all over the United States trying to show off their products in order to gain recognition. A man by the name of Richard Blechynden was a tea enthusiast trying to show off his tea. Unfortunately a big heat wave came through and nobody wanted to drink his hot tea. Unsure of what to do, he desperately searched for an answer, which came out to be nothing other than plain old ice. He quickly dumped iced into his tea and it became the hit of the fair!

The great part about using a tea maker like this is that you can use either tea bags or real loose leaf tea. This is great because you can get a large variety of flavors instead of regular old orange pekoe black tea like that which is sold in stores to make iced tea with. Another great aspect of using high-quality tea instead of the flavored sugar is the health aspect of it. If you're using high-quality tea, you really don't even need to put sugar in it. You might add a touch of honey or some type of fruit juice like a lemon, but their is really no need to add extra sugar. One of the amazing things about tea is how great it is for you - don't ruin that!
