you can also create a window box Tea Herb Garden, and plant the most popular and easily grown herbs for tea. Lemon grass, spearmint, peppermint, thyme and chamomile.

Crafty little Iced Tea Recipe Booklets are very easy to make. There are an array of iced tea recipes available online and it is very easy to print off recipes from the Internet. Place each recipe on a separate page in your book, and then bind the pages together with either a cloth, or construction paper cover. Use a hole punch to make holes along the left side, or top side of your pages, and then bind the pages together with brightly colored ribbon or string.

A wonderfully relaxing craft idea for National Iced Tea Day is a Bath Tea Bag. You simply need a two square pieces of cloth approximately 2 to 6 inches in size. Using a sewing machine, stitch your square into a pocket, leave the top of this pocket open so you will be able to fill your Bathtime Teabag with your choice of dried flower petals, bath salts, epsom salts, sea salt, milk powder, green tea, oatmeal flakes, bath scents or scented oils. After you have your pocket filled, either fashion a drawstring closure, or stitch the remaining side closed. Add a string to the top of your Bathtime Teabag so it is able to dangle into the bathtub.

One of the easiest craft to design in a tea theme is a Tea Time Gift basket. This is a great project for a group of people to do together because you can each bring a selection of items to swap, trade, and share as you are filling your baskets. Items to gather for the baskets are: teacups or mugs, tea balls, teaspoons, a selection of herb teas, a selection of loose leaf teas, a selection of green, black, white or Oolong teas, small packages of cookies, mints or other small candies, cupcakes or small cakes, cinnamon sticks, tiny jars of honey, small packages of sweeteners, and any other items that you know would be sure to delight the person that you are preparing your basket for. Be sure to bring plenty of ribbons, bows, flowers, tinsel, bells and glitter to decorate your basket with. Also keep in mind that you don't have to limit yourself to just themed baskets when celebrating National Iced Tea Day, use a bonnet instead, and fill it with all the tea themed goodies that you would otherwise place into a basket. You can even choose to fill a teapot or teacup with packages of assorted mints and teas.

However it is that you decide to celebrate National Iced Tea Day, on June 10th enjoy a nice cold cup of iced tea, and have a wonderfully refreshing time doing so.
