In the US we would most likely say iced rather than over ice. Scotch, on the other hand, would be served on the rocks.

CalifJimThe tea may be hot. You put the ice cubes in a glass (or cup) and pour the liquid over them. Yes.Be sure to put a metal spoon in first so the glass doesn't crack!

"Served over ice" is just a more poetic way of saying "iced" or "with ice." If you want to dress up your language a bit, for instance for advert copy if you're selling tea, say "served over ice."
