Nothing says summer like a cool refreshing glass of Tradewinds Tea. It helps beat the heat and has great flavor, especially when there’s several to choose from such as unsweet, sweet, raspberry, hint of lemon, and green tea with honey. My family and I love Sweet Tea and Tradewinds Tea makes the best sweet tea. Did you know that you can cook with it too? It adds extra flavor with a hint of sweetness. I had fun experimenting and found this recipe for Sweet Tea Teriyaki Chicken was hands down the winner in our household. Check out the recipe and try it for yourself!
