Recipe News: Beat the heat with these unique recipes

Summer may not officially arrive until next week, but here's another reason to start celebrating the season a little bit early: June is National Iced Tea Month.

There are several reasons why a glass of iced tea is perfect for cooling off during a hot day - besides being calorie-free. Research suggests that tea may play a role in helping to maintain a healthy weight, as well as supporting the body's ability to fight skin cancer.

According to a University of Arizona study, participants who drank iced black tea and citrus peel had a 42 percent reduced risk of skin cancer. Other studies suggest that tea, particularly green tea, may help to maintain an overall healthy weight.
