Why Does Arizona Iced Tea Have Gingseng?
Arizona Iced Tea contains ginseng as a natural ingredient known for its potential health benefits. Ginseng has been used in traditional medicine for centuries and is believed to help boost energy, reduce stress, and improve overall health.
Arizona Iced Tea has used ginseng in its beverages since the 1990s when it introduced its Green Tea with Ginseng and Honey flavor. Since then, ginseng has become a signature ingredient in many of their popular tea flavors.
In addition to its potential health benefits, ginseng also adds a unique flavor to Arizona Iced Tea, giving it a slightly sweet and earthy taste that sets it apart from other brands.
Diet Arizona Iced Tea Copy Cat:
If you’d like to make your own diet version, substitute the sugar with a zero-calorie sweetener. Arizona Green Tea (Diet) label still uses honey as an ingredient, so we don’t recommend omitting the honey.
