Wednesday, June 10 is National Iced Tea Day. Get ready to celebrate by sipping some free (or cheap) tea. Here are a few offers. Leave a comment if you know of others or send me an email at nrhone@ajc.com and I will update.

Teavana: The Starbucks owned tea shop is offering customers a free 16-ounce Pineapple Berry Blue Iced Tea on National Iced Tea Day. The offer is good while supplies last. One per customer. No purchase necessary. In addition, on June 11 – 14 from 3 – 6 p.m., participating stores will host 50 percent off a 16-ounce iced tea beverage while learning easy tips and tricks for making iced tea at home.  Naoko Tsunoda, tea authority and director of tea development at Teavana, suggests the following tips to enhance your iced tea experience at home:

  1. Flavor Cubes: Instead of using water to make ice cubes for your iced tea, use another iced tea beverage to create a more complex beverage.
  2. Getting Fizzy with It: Brew double-strength tea with sweetener to taste; let it cool and then add sparkling water.
  3. Iced Tea-tini: Chill your double-strength brewed tea sweetened to taste, then mix it with a favorite spirit. Serve over ice or in a martini glass with garnish.

La Madeleine Country French Café: Get a free glass of Mango Breeze iced teas at participating cafés in celebration of National Iced Tea Day. Just mention the promotion and you will get iced tea for free. Offer is good all day while supplies last. For locations visit  www.laMadeleine.com.

Snapple: Visit www.sipyoursummer.com and get a free Snapple on National Iced Tea Day. You can add the event to your calendar and click to the link. Presumably, this will serve as a coupon in-store but company reps have not yet made this clear.
