Abstract
An air conditioning lid for use with beverage containers is provided. The lid is designed to cover the open end of a beverage container and to direct ambient air over or through the contents of the beverage container to generate conditioned air. The lid includes a body and a fan. The body is defined by a container engagement portion that engages with the open end of the beverage container and a duct portion that extends downwardly from the container engagement portion. The duct portion defines a first air channel through which ambient air drawn through an intake opening within the container engagement portion by the fan may be directed towards the contents of a beverage container. Conditioned air resulting from an exchange of heat between the ambient air and contents of the beverage container is directed to users via a second air channel within the container engagement portion.
