Iced tea is pretty much what it sounds like, tea that is served with ice (and is therefore cold), although it can sometime be simply served chilled. It can have different flavours added to it, or iced tea can also be made using things other than tea leaves, such as herbal teas.
Iced tea is drunk all around the world, but it is probably most popular in the United States, where the majority of tea is drunk as iced tea, unlike in the United Kingdom, where most tea is served hot.
Iced tea can be made the same way as normal tea, using boiling water, and then allowed it to cool before adding the ice or, alternatively, it can be allowed to steep by simply leaving it in the sun, then chilled afterwards, whether by simply refrigerating it or by adding ice.
