ice tea

Cold steeped beverage

Ice tea is a variant spelling of iced tea—tea that has been chilled and served cold, typically over ice.

The spelling reflects casual pronunciation, where the *d* in "iced" often disappears before the *t* in "tea." Both forms are widely used: Would you like some ice tea?
