About Twisted tea
Twisted Tea is a popular alcoholic iced tea beverage originating in the United States. It combines brewed tea with flavorings and fermented alcohol derived from malted barley, resembling the brewing process of beer. Available in a variety of flavors, Twisted Tea has a refreshing taste and is often consumed as a casual, social beverage. Nutritionally, a 12-ounce can provides around 194 calories, 22 grams of carbohydrates (mostly sugars), and approximately 5% Alcohol by Volume (ABV). It contains minimal to no significant vitamins or minerals but is relatively high in sugar and calories compared to traditional beverages.
Health Benefits
- Provides a potential source of antioxidants from the tea component, such as flavonoids, though reduced during processing.
- May offer minor hydration benefits due to its liquid content, though counterbalanced by its alcohol content.
- Potentially contains trace minerals from malted barley; however, these are negligible in overall nutritional impact.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store in a cool, dry place. Once opened, consume immediately or refrigerate and consume within 24 hours for best flavor and quality.
