Thought to be born in the USA prohibition era, this version of the Long Island Tennessee Iced Tea has been given a daring new twist

So the story goes, the original invention of Long Island Tennessee Ice Tea had its roots in America’s prohibition era. The aim was to create a drink that hid its alcoholic content from the authorities – and what looked to be innocent iced tea fitted the bill perfectly.
