        "text": "National Sweet Tea Day celebrates sweet tea, a Southern U.S. staple made by sweetening brewed tea while it is still hot and serving it over ice. It is also known as sweet iced tea, and it may be enjoyed plain or with lemon, mint, peach, or raspberry.\nSweet tea’s documented history reaches back to the late 19th century. The oldest known recipe was published in Housekeeping in Old Virginia, a community cookbook by Marion Cabell Tyree; the recipe called for green tea, sugar, and ice. By 1890, a Nevada newspaper account of a Confederate veterans’ reunion mentioned sweet tea among the refreshments served at a large barbecue. (Web-Holidays.com)\nNational Sweet Tea Day offers a refreshing way to enjoy this sweet, iced beverage on August 21. Its date is distinct from National Iced Tea Day, which is observed on June 10.",
