Texans love iced tea. Sweet, unsweet, half and half, with lemon or with lime, most of us truly enjoy this cold beverage even in the winter but especially on hot summer days. Although San Antonio has several restaurants known for having good iced tea, none of them focus specially on the treat. Until now! San Antonio is today home to a new HTeaO franchise branch, located at 22127 Bulverde, near Loop 1604 and Highway 281. As a bonus to the Alamo City, First Responders in uniform always drink free!
