Non-alcoholic iced tea recipes date back to as early as 1876, but it wasn’t until the rise of fridges with freezers in the 1920s and 1930s that the popularity of this drink really took off. This recipe for a pear and iced tea punch is super refreshing on a hot summer’s day, and kids will love the addition of strawberries and passionfruit. Serve this at many bring a plate occasions – backyard BBQs, Mother’s Day and surprise parties.
