Abstract: A brewing and dispensing system for iced tea, particularly presweetened iced tea, which is especially well-suited for use in a fast food restaurant is provided. This system includes brewing means for brewing a supply of fresh tea, a supply of sweetener formulated to remain liquid in a chilled condition, chiller means for maintaining the tea and sweetener in a chilled condition, circulating means for maintaining the chilled tea and sweetener under constant circulation, and dispenser means for dispensing presweetened tea having a preselected ratio of sweetener and tea at one or a plurality of locations. A compressor means propels the sweetener and the tea under pressure from each supply to the chiller and from there to the dispenser. Undispensed tea and sweetener are circulated from the dispenser means back to the chiller means and are kept constantly circulating until dispensed.
