You can get any kind of tea during Free Tea Day.

You can get your free tea in person or ordering online (we’ll get to the latter in just a second). To get your free tea from McAlister’s in person on Free Tea Day, let the cashier know that you are there for your tea freebies. You then get a 32-ounce cup of sweet tea (regularly $2.15) added to your order for no charge. No McAlister’s Rewards account is required.

You even have the option to modify your order to your tastes by adding a lemon slice or a shot of peach, strawberry, or black cherry puree. Here were the teas that they've offered in past years:

• Sweet Tea

• Unsweet Tea

• Half Sweet & Half Unsweet Tea
