Answer: 1

Richard Blechynden, India Tea Commissioner and Director of the East Indian Pavilion, made iced tea popular at the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis.  It was an accident because he was ready to serve hot tea at the fair.  However, due to the intense heat, he decided to serve the tea with ice.
