June is National Iced Tea Month, and National Iced Tea Day is June 10th. Iced tea has a rich history and cultural significance. It is believed to have originated in the United States during the 19th century. It has become a staple in many cultures and is often associated with relaxation and comfort.
It's interesting to note the connection between iced tea and "hygge," a Danish concept of coziness. Hygge is often linked with warm beverages enjoyed in a cozy setting, creating a feeling of comfort and contentment, especially during the colder months. Similarly, iced tea can create a refreshing and inviting atmosphere, particularly during the warmer months. Sipping iced tea on a sunny porch or incorporating it into a laid-back gathering with loved ones can undoubtedly add to the overall feeling of comfort and contentment at the heart of hygge.
