Whether you're drinking it out of a tall glass as a morning refresher, or serving it with almond cookies as an afternoon snack, sweet tea is the quintessential country drink. It's perfect on its own, but what if we said you could make it even more enticing to your taste buds? Try the following tips to make your tea sparkling, tangy, and (do we dare?) even sweeter.
1. Add Soda
Add some sparkle to your tea with club soda. Mix it up and use a lemon seltzer for an extra zing of flavor. Looking for something a little bit stronger? This recipe uses St. Germain liqueur.

2. Upgrade Your Ice Cubes
Serving sweet tea over ice is a must, but once the cubes melt, your tea can become a watery mess. The solution: Pour tea into ice trays and make sweet tea ice cubes. If you're looking for a twist, make lemonade cubes instead. Drop them into sweet tea for an Arnold Palmer that will get even more delicious as the cubes melt.

3. Fill It Up With Fruit
Turn your regular old glass into one you won't want to put down by adding peach flavor. Make your own peach simple syrup with this recipe. Not into peaches? Freeze strawberries, blueberries, or pineapple and drop them into your tea for a delectable drink.
