- AriZona Iced Tea with Ginseng Extract
When John Ferolito and Don Vultaggio were thinking of names for their new line of iced teas back in 1992, they scanned a map for inspiration. The idea was to find a location with hot weather. Santa Fe was the first name that smacked 'em in the face, but the two later settled on the sweltering state of Arizona, with the funky addition of a capital "Z" in the middle. Now AriZona Beverage Company makes over 30 varieties of iced teas, coffees, elixirs, juices and other hip drinks.
My AriZona Iced Tea with Ginseng recipe below copies their popular black tea with ginseng. You can make it with just one regular size tea bag and liquid ginseng that you can find in any decent health food store worth a grain of organic salt.
